Cherry (Ornamental) Double Weeping Higan Cherry 7Gal

Key Plant Details

• Mature Size: Typically reaches 12 to 20 feet tall with a 10 to 15-foot spread.
• Bloom Time: Early to mid-spring, displaying heavily fragrant, double pink flowers that emerge from deep magenta buds.
• Foliage: Deciduous; emerges with a bronze/copper tint in spring, matures to dark green in summer, and turns a vivid yellow/gold in autumn.
• Hardiness Zones: Thrives best in USDA Zones 5–8.
• Light Requirements: Full sun to partial shade (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily is ideal). 

Care & Maintenance

• Soil: Prefers consistently moist, well-draining acidic to neutral loamy soils, though it is reasonably adaptable.
• Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system; highly drought-tolerant once established.
• Pruning: Prune right after the spring flowering cycle finishes. Crucially, remove any growth emerging at or below the graft point on the trunk, as rootstock shoots will not have the signature weeping habit
