Weeping Cherry
The Higgins Weeping Cherry tree prefers moist, well-drained soils of average fertility in full sun, but is adaptable to poor soils, compacted soils, dry soils, and heat. The Weeping Cherry tree, Prunus subhirtelia 'Pendula', has a medium growth rate for its arching vertical growth, but a rapid growth rate for its many weeping stems. Bronzy-brown bark is smooth and attractive. It is a sought after accent tree in late winter or early spring, with its showy pink flowers that emerge before the foliage emerges on pendulous branches. Fall color is a mixture of green, chartreuse, and yellow. If desired, stems that weep to the ground can be pruned up to a desired height (either staggered in height for informality, or clipped to precisely the same height for formality) so that mowing, growth of other ornamentals, or maintenance access can be achieved underneath the tree. It is a specimen tree with single trunk. This deciduous tree has branches that are strongly weeping in form. Heavy flowering in spring lasts one week. ... details
Columnar Swedish Aspen The Columnar Swedish Aspen, Populus tremula 'Erecta', is native to the forests of Sweden. It has none invasive root systems and cottonless. The dark green leaves have a lighter silvery-green underside providing both visual interest and a soothing sound in the breeze and tremble with the faintest whisper of wind, creating the same pleasant rustling sounds as the leaves of Quaking Aspen. It is well adapted to very cold climates, but needs adequate moisture. |
