The prunus family contains over 400 species that are useful and beautiful at the same time. There are cherries, plums, peaches or sloes, as well as flowering Japanese cherries, evergreen cherry laurels and many more.

Weeping Higan cherry has rich pink, double flowers in early cherry season. It makes pendent branches that soon reach the ground. It is the right spring-teller as it announces warmer weather as one of the first flowering trees. It seldom grows taller than 3 m which makes it an ideal selection for even the smallest of gardens.

Flowering cherries can take almost any well-drained soil. But if you are after a good looking tree grow it in slightly acid, evenly moist soil. Pruning, if needed, should be done immediately after flowering to prevent silver leaf and bacteria canker, and to encourage new growths that will bear flowers. It is fully hardy to about -29°C (USDA zone 5), perhaps a little lower.
