About

Bring Tranquility to Your Landscape with Our Collection of Ornamental Weeping Trees Ornamental Weeping trees get their name from their drooping branches, but these trees look more graceful than they do sad. Their limbs grow downward, hanging free rather than growing upward and sturdy. They have flexible branches that sway in the wind and are sure to bring tranquility to your landscape. Our collection has a lovely variety of weeping trees, from mild weepers like the Crimson Cascade Weeping Peach Tree to more pronounced trees whose limbs will likely reach the ground, like the classic Weeping Willow Tree . Weeping Tree Care Overview Weeping trees are deciduous and will lose their leaves in late fall and grow them back in early spring. Flowering trees will bloom in spring and summer. Most of these trees can grow in most parts of the US, although some can’t tolerate the coldest and warmest regions. Weeping trees are generally easy to care for because they require little maintenance, although some will need extra TLC in the form of water, especially in periods of drought. How to Plant Weeping Trees Plant your tree in early spring so it can have an entire year to establish a deep root system in your garden. Dig a hole 2-3 times as big as the root ball and fill the hole with healthy soil. Water the plant well to remove air pockets and add more soil as needed. Mature Heights and Zoning Most of our weeping tree collection can grow in zones 5-9. The hardy Weeping Willow can grow in zone 4, but the Weeping Yoshino Cherry Tree and the Weeping Tamukeyama Japanese Maple Tree are limited to zones 5-8. Some trees only reach a couple of feet tall and make great accent trees, while others can tower up to 40 feet and create shaded seating areas. How to Water Weeping Trees Water needs will vary between trees, but all of them must be watered generously the first year after being planted in your yard to develop deep root systems. Deep roots will allow them to reach for water in the ground
