Yoshino Weeping Cherry Tree is a delightful small cherry tree with its main branches sweeping out somewhat horizontally, the twigs becoming pendulous and weeping almost to ground level. Its flowers are formed from pink buds during March and April, and gradually turn white as the season progresses. In addition, the flowers carry a slight, pleasant fragrance. Autumn see the leaves turn yellow before falling. This tree is fairly round in form and will reach a height of approxiamtely 5m (16ft 8in), so is well-suited to the smaller garden.
As you can see from the pictures on the left, if you leave the Yoshino Weeping Cherry tree to it's own devices, it will send it's branches out to where ever it can. We suspect it might be reaching for the remote control to watch the gardening channel but as yet we have not been able to prove anything.
If your Weeping Yoshino develops a long skirt like the one shown, prune the branches to about 30cm above ground level.
If you want the tree to weep higher in the future, take one of the upper branches and bend it up. Use a cane or some other form of support (we don't suggest using your children to hold it as they complain after a few days of being in the garden over night) and this branch will then grow up and then out.
You then remove the lower branches over a period of a few years and your Weeping Yoshino Cherry tree will be much taller as shown by the tree on the left with white flowers.

Ornamental Tree Roots In The Shade e.g. Behind A Fence
It is more important that that foliage (posh term for leaves) receives the sunlight than the roots. So if the canopy of your ornamental tree can sunbathe but the bottom of your tree thinks there has been a nuclear winter then that is ok. You might want to ensure you have good drainage as water and no sun is the start of algae and other such issues.
Early Autumn Leaf Fall
Heat stress, being potted, lack of water, being boxed up for a few days etc can cause early Autumn leaf fall. Once planted, normal service will resume next season.
Do I Need To Stake My Ornamental Tree?
9 out of 10 times the answer will be no, especially if under 200cm tall. However our article on Tree Staking should help guide you.
Climate Change
Climate Change has increased aesthetic foliage issues such as Powdery Mildew, Shothole, Rust, frost damage etc These are not terminal issues and will usually last a season or less. All trees are inspected before being sent out to ensure they are fundamentally healthy and will bounce back.
Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. If the corner is of the house and a fence then you also have leeching issues to contend with from cement and wood preservatives. Also when it rains, that area would experience higher water levels so we advise against it unless the plant is very hardy.
Mature Tree Warranty
Once a tree is over 3 years old, the failure rate is considerably less and our Tree Warranty does not cover it at 100%. Please check details.
Fruit On Ornamental Cherry Trees
If any fruits are formed, they will be small, inedible and barely noticeable.
