Planting & Care
Choose a planting location with well-drained soil and adequate sunlight. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Place the tree in the hole, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the trunk. Water regularly during the first growing season to help the tree establish a strong root system. Once established, weeping cherry trees are relatively low-maintenance; prune as needed to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches.
