Weeping Cherry
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. 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. 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. Bronzy-brown bark is smooth and attractive. Fall color is a mixture of green, chartreuse, and yellow. 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. 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. ... find out more
Thornless Honeylocust The Thornless Honeylocust tree, Gleditsia Triacanthos, is fast growing as a young tree and will grow 2’ or more a year over a 10-year period. Readily transplanted, it withstands a wide range of conditions although it reaches maximum development on rich, moist bottomlands or on soils of a limestone origin. This deciduous tree is tolerant of drought conditions, high pH, and is salt tolerant. Thornless Honeylocust trees are an excellent lawn tree for filtered shade. The fine small textured leaves casts a light shade and usually do not need raking in the fall. |
