Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A widely grown weeping cherry, there are multiple clones grown under this name as it comes fairly true from seed. Mature plants are extremely impressive, and while these are small they grow reasonably fast.
Even if it never flowered, this would be a worthy tree. Artistically weeping, gray-brown prominently horizontal-lenticelled branches. Long-lived and beautiful with graceful habit. Do not confuse it's needs with a weeping willow -- no wet soil, please. Gorgeous, full-size tree. Not a dwarf and not a graft. This is the real deal -- the full size weeping cherry. And it's a fast grower. Species native to Japan.
