| Design Ideas | Few trees can compare with the beauty of the weeping Cherry, a traditional Japanese garden plant that's equally at home in the cottage-garden setting. A gorgeous single specimen that is planted as a focal point in simple surroundings, such as lawn or mat-like groundcover. May also be used in beds and borders. Particularly nice with water gardens and reflection pools, where its weeping form is complementary. Ideal for city landscapes as a front-yard standout. However, it should be protected from hot afternoon sun, drying wind, or prevailing breezes that may disrupt its umbrella-like shape. |

| Care | Prefers slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soils. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency, once established. Apply fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. For a tidy, neat appearance, prune annually to shape. |
