One
of the most beautiful ornamental cherry trees is the ‘snow
fountains’ weeping cherry. Named after its similar appearance
to water coming out of a fountain, this weeping ornamental
cherry tree is suitable for landscape use in zones five through
eight. They will grow to a height of eight to fifteen feet
and have a mature spread of six to eight feet. The weeping
branches of this ornamental cherry tree will often reach the
ground, and have lovely light pink blooms.
A second
common ornamental cherry tree is the Yoshino cherry tree.
A native of Japan and China, the Yoshino cherry tree will
perform well in the United States. The fragrant blooms of
this ornamental cherry tree will usually appear in mid-March.
A Yoshino cherry tree will flower each year, but the quantity
of blooms may vary from year to year. This is directly related
to the amount of winter cold that the ornamental cherry tree
receives.
