Family Rosaceae

Prunus subhirtella 'Pendula' is an ornamental cherry tree with a graceful and elegant weeping habit, renowned for its abundant bloom of pale pink to light pink flowers, which appear in early spring before the foliage. Its gracefully drooping branches form a natural cascading silhouette, ideal for planting as a specimen, on an embankment, or near a water feature. Its glossy green foliage turns beautiful golden yellow hues in autumn, extending seasonal interest. This moderately growing, hardy cultivar, well-suited for residential or landscaped gardens, prefers a sunny exposure and well-drained soil. 'Pendula' combines delicacy, movement, and spectacular flowering, offering a living and romantic architectural accent in any landscape design.
