Overview & Specifications
Weeping Cherry - Prunus subhirtella 'Pendula Rubra'
Few ornamental trees command attention the way a mature Pendula Rubra does in full spring bloom. Cascading branches smothered in deep pink blossom create a sculptural presence that anchors a landscape with immediate, undeniable impact.
Why Weeping Cherry
Cascading architectural form: Pronounced weeping habit delivers year-round sculptural interest, not just seasonal colour.
Early spring floral display: Deep pink blossoms emerge before foliage, ensuring maximum visual impact with no competition.
Refined deciduous character: Winter silhouette is striking in its own right; bare, flowing branches read as deliberate structure.
Scaled for prestige settings: Mature specimens reach 4 to 6 metres, commanding without overwhelming considered landscapes.
Proven performance: Reliable flowering season after season with minimal intervention once established.
Ideal Applications
Formal feature planting: Positioned as a standalone specimen, it becomes the defining element of any open lawn or forecourt.
Japanese and contemplative gardens: Naturally suited to restrained, considered design frameworks where form carries meaning.
Residential entranceways: A mature specimen at the approach to a property signals quality and intent from the outset.
Courtyard and confined landscapes: Delivers drama and verticality within tighter footprints without dominating the spatial composition.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (feature/avenue): 5–8m
