Questions & Answers
The tree will eventually develop new limbs on the "bare" side of the tree. In the meantime, you can try to train the current growth to cover that area (tie or stake a couple branches so that they "fill in" the other side) or use limb spreaders to space the current limbs so that they all appear more evenly balanced. When pruning, trim so that the branches are at least 6 inches from the ground, or a little more if it suits your intended overall look. This should be done when the tree is dormant (late fall, winter, early spring before new growth emerges), but some folks trim more vigorous trees a little after the bloom period has passed. Try to avoid heavy pruning or removing entire limbs (unless they're dead or diseased), as this may encourage sucker growth that will grow vertically instead of having the nice weeping shape.
It grows approximately 2 feet per year on average.
Thank you for your inquiry. This tree will bear inedible, decorative berries or fruit; the small fruits are glossy black and sparse.

I have always wanted a weeping cherry tree. This year my husband talked me into getting one. I'm excited!
