Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:
Prefers moist, fertile, well-drained, loamy soil and full sun to partial shade. Does best if given supplemental water during dry spells while it is getting established. Prune right after flowering. Weeping cherries are grafted onto a non-weeping rootstock and any shoots coming from the rootstock can be trimmed off. Fertilize in early spring with a slow-release, balanced fertilizer or compost. Mulching is beneficial.
