Know before you buy

Once the three-week bloom period concludes, the tree develops lush, glossy green foliage. This provides a clean, elegant aesthetic that maintains visual interest throughout the summer months.
While it can reach a height of 25 feet, its graceful, cascading form makes it a popular choice for focal points in landscapes or near patios. If you have a smaller garden, ensure you have the necessary width to support its weeping branches as they spread.
