Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A choice dwarf form of weeping cherry, 12-15' high, which becomes a lovely cascade of pure white in spring flower and then a shower of gold in autumn when the leaves turn. S/M
Deciduous, weeping cherry with an abundant display of white flowers in early spring. It looks like a fountain of snow, with the branches eventually reaching to the ground. Dark green leaves appear after the flowers and turn a nice combination of orange and yellow in the fall. Mature height of tree depends on graft height.
A weeping form with a heavy bloom of snow white flowers on naked stems. This hybrid will grow 12-15' high and wide. A very fine choice for the small garden area, patio or planter. A real attention-getter when in bloom.
