Prunus subhirtella Pendula Alba White Weeping Cherry

Prunus subhirtella 'Pendula Alba', commonly known as White Weeping Cherry, is a graceful deciduous tree noted for its cascading branches and profuse white blossoms. Blooming in early to mid-spring, the tree produces a stunning display of delicate, single white flowers, followed by small, inconspicuous fruits. The elegant weeping form and vibrant green foliage, which turns yellow in autumn, add year-round interest.

To grow 'Pendula Alba' in suburban Melbourne and Sydney, plant it in full sun with well-draining soil. It adapts to various soil types, though it prefers slightly acidic to neutral conditions. Regular watering, especially during dry spells, is essential. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and protect the roots. Pruning is generally minimal, done after flowering to maintain its shape.
