The Snow Showers Cherry is a profusely flowering dwarf weeping tree that is awash with beautiful fragrant single white flowers covering graceful pendent branches in late March. In Autumn, leaves turn bright orange, red and yellow giving much pleasure. Do not forget to feed and water your Prunus Snow Showers if you keep them in a pot. Cherries are fully hardy and need full sunshine and will grow in all but waterlogged soil. This weeping cherry blossom is a low-maintenance tree, only requiring pruning to cut out any diseased or dead wood. Prune in mid-summer if silver leaf is a problem. Snow showers do like a good weed, mulch, and compost in spring. A dwarf cultivar suitable small gardens and pots or planters on patios. Bees greatly benefit from the flowers.
