Weeping Higan Cherry – Prunus subhirtella pendula Tree Seeds | 15 Seeds | Fast Growing Pink Weeping Ornamental

Weeping Higan Cherry (Prunus subhirtella pendula) is one of the most graceful flowering trees you can grow. Known for its cascading, whip-like branches and delicate pink blossoms, this fast-growing ornamental tree creates a breathtaking spring display.

Native to Japan, this deciduous flowering tree grows 20–30 feet tall with an equal spread, forming a dramatic weeping silhouette. In early spring, before leaves emerge, clusters of light pink to rose-pink flowers bloom along the drooping branches, creating a waterfall of color. Small glossy black fruits may follow and attract birds.

Throughout summer, glossy green leaves provide lush foliage before turning vivid red or bright yellow in fall. Even in winter, the bare cascading branches add architectural elegance to the landscape. Perfect as a specimen tree, focal point planting, or bonsai project.
