Description

A weeping tree that’s sure to bring joy to homeowners in spring. The elegant, arching branches of Pink Snow Showers weeping cherry are a flurry of sweet pink flowers in early spring, standing out against the silvery branches. Serrated, dark green foliage has no issue with unsightly shot hole disease, staying neat and clean all season before developing into red and orange tones in fall. This vigorous grower develops into a showpiece specimen quickly.

As part of the Proven Winners ColorChoice Trees program, liners, whips, and finished plants are available only through the network of licensed growers.
