Why did you choose this?

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

I purchased a weeping cherry from stark Bros in the spring. It was a bare root tree approximately 3 feet tall. When I first got the tree it was kind of like a twig, no branches. It is now growing branches wonderfully. The branches are growing to one side. What should I do to make them go to both sides? Also, the branches are touching the ground. When and how should I trim them? Thank you.

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.

How many year for the tree to be full growth?

It grows approximately 2 feet per year on average.

does this weeping cherry bear fruit?

Thank you for your inquiry. This tree will bear inedible, decorative berries or fruit; the small fruits are glossy black and sparse.

Is this a grafted tree?

Yes, the Pink Pendula cherry is grafted.

We are weeping over the Cherry.
The tree started it's short life last spring as a twig with roots. A few months after planting the twig it started growing into a bigger twig(so far so good). After a few more months the twig grew into a strange looking baby tree, the trunk was bent and the limbs grew in all crazy (that is as far as it got last summer). This spring I was excited to see it come back, sadly it did not come back, it is now May and it still looks dead, so I think it is safe to say that it is dead (??????). I hope you have better luck with your twig so you don't end up weeping over your cherry.

Dead disappointment
One took off and has done fairly well although it has been weak and needed staked and babied. The other died quickly. Very disappointed ??
