Know before you buy
At maturity, this tree reaches a spread of 6 to 8 feet. You should ensure you have at least an 8-foot diameter of open space to allow the cascading branches to hang freely without obstruction.
Yes, it requires well-drained soil to prevent root rot. If your garden has heavy clay or tends to stay waterlogged, you may need to amend the soil or plant it on a slight mound to improve drainage.
This variety thrives in full sun, which means it needs at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day. Adequate sun is essential for the tree to produce its signature heavy bloom of white flowers in the spring.
It is relatively low-maintenance once established, requiring regular watering during its first year and occasional pruning to maintain its shape. Because it is deciduous, you will also need to clear fallen leaves in the autumn.
You will see a dramatic display of white flowers in early spring, followed by glossy green foliage throughout the summer. In autumn, the leaves transition into vibrant golden-orange tones before dropping for the winter.
