A beautiful weeping flowering cherry with cascading branches covered in clusters of double, rose-pink blossom in spring. New leaves emerge bronze, turn green over summer and colour gold, orange and red in autumn. Grown as a grafted standard, it stays compact, making it a stunning feature for smaller gardens, and it thrives in Canberra's cold winters.

  • Foliage: Bronze new growth, green in summer, gold to red in autumn; deciduous
  • Flowers: Double rose-pink blossom, spring
  • Growth habit: Weeping standard with cascading branches
  • Position: Full sun to part shade
  • Climate: Frost hardy
  • Water needs: Moderate; regular water while establishing and through dry summers
  • Soil: Well-drained soil improved with compost. Break up heavy Canberra clay with gypsum clay breaker. In pots, use Osmocote Premium Potting Mix.
  • Feeding: Osmocote All Purpose in spring, or Yates Dynamic Lifter for an organic feed. Seasol at planting and through summer helps with heat stress.
  • Maintenance: Low; light prune after flowering to shape, remove any shoots below the graft
  • Ideal for: Feature trees, small gardens, lawns, courtyards and large pots
