Weeping Yoshino Cherry Tree

Weeping Yoshino is a pendant form of the Yoshino cherry, with branches that arch toward the ground and single white flowers in early spring. The flowers open before the leaves and may carry a light almond scent; the garden profile lists 15 feet tall and wide.

The modest listed dimensions suit a smaller ornamental-tree planting, while the weeping branches provide structure after the flowers fall. ## Growing Conditions Greenleaf describes spring flowers with pink centers and rates the plant for USDA Zone 5. The broader Yoshino profile supports full sun or part shade, moist, well-drained soil, and a Zones 5–8 range. Bright green summer leaves develop yellow to gold fall color. ## Maintenance Water during establishment and extended dry periods. Keep competing vegetation away from the root area, and prune only as needed to maintain clearance beneath the pendant branches. Avoid heavy pruning before flowering, since blossoms form on prior-season growth.
