The Weeping Yoshino cherry tree, or Shidare Yoshino, is a steeply pendant form of the Yoshino cherry (Prunus x yedoensis). The tree is small, and the weeping branches hang right down to the ground - covered with dense clouds of single white flowers in early spring.
Like most of the Yoshino cherries, the blossom appears on bare branches in early spring, before the leaves emerge. The flowers often have an almond-like scent.

Prunus x yedoensis is a species of traditional "garden cherry" (satu-zakura) which has been grown in Japan for centuries. There are many examples of this species, usually small trees, mostly of upright form but some, such as this one, which exhibit a weeping habit.
Illustrative example of a pot-grown tree of this variety as supplied. Approximate girth: 6/8cm. We try to keep all pot-grown trees down to about 1.5m as supplied, but some may be larger. Trees should reach their mature height after about 10 or more years. We may also have 1-year bare-root trees of this variety - they are not shown here.
We list more than 70 different flowering cherry trees. Choosing can be difficult! Our article explaining the different characteristics of flowering cherries might help narrow down the selection.
