Prunus serrulata Cheals Double Pink Weeping Cherry Standards 1.8m

Common Name:
Cheal’s Weeping Cherry / Cheal’s Double Pink Weeping Cherry

Description:
Prunus serrulata 'Cheal's Weeping' is a highly ornamental weeping cherry tree admired for its stunning double pink blossoms and graceful cascading form. This deciduous tree is particularly striking in spring when its branches are smothered in large, frilly, rose-pink flowers that create a dramatic and romantic display. The dense floral clusters appear before the leaves unfurl, enhancing the visual impact. Its foliage emerges bronze, turns green in summer, and finishes in rich tones of gold and orange in autumn, offering three seasons of interest. This standard weeping form is ideal for small gardens, feature planting, or as a dramatic focal point in lawns and courtyards. It performs best in a sunny position with well-drained soil and benefits from protection against strong winds during flowering. Once established, it is relatively low-maintenance and offers a rewarding floral show each year in Melbourne's temperate climate.
