Cherry Dawson

The 'Dawson' Cherry produces large, black coloured fruit in summer. The fruit has red flesh that is sweet with a lovely flavour. It requires another variety planted alongside (“a pollinator”) to produce good fruit yields, such as 'Early Rivers' or 'Stella'. This deciduous tree grows upright to about 5 m tall and 3 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. Cherries require a cold winter to set fruit, hence they are less suited to regions where winters tend to be mild. The 'Dawson' Cherry is commonly used for fruit production and makes an attractive tree in its own right.

Characteristics of the Weeping Cherry Blossom Tree

The weeping cherry blossom tree, also known as Prunus subhirtella Pendula, features long, drooping branches that create a beautiful weeping effect. The soft pink to white flowers emerge in clusters, attracting bees and butterflies, which contribute to the overall health of your garden. Typically growing to a height of about 4-8 meters, this tree is perfect for smaller spaces or can be used to create a lush canopy in larger gardens. Its rounded shape and beautiful bark make it a visually striking feature throughout the year, providing interest even when the blossoms have fallen.

Planting and Care for Your Weeping Cherry Blossom Tree

Proper planting and maintenance are crucial for keeping your weeping cherry blossom tree healthy and vibrant. Ideally, it should be planted in well-drained soil with plenty of sun exposure. Make sure to choose a location that offers some protection from strong winds to prevent damage to its delicate branches. Watering should be regular, especially during dry spells, and annual pruning will help maintain its beautiful shape.

For those interested in expanding their cherry blossom collection, consider complementing your weeping variety with other stunning options like Prunus Kanzan or Prunus Tai Haku.
