weeping higan cherry

For the weeping higan cherry (Prunus 'Snofozam' SNOW FOUNTAINS) plant species, it is important to keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water the plant about once or twice a week if there is no rainfall, and deep soak the soil around it. During the warmer months when temperatures are high, it may be necessary to water the plant more frequently depending on the soil and the weather conditions. Make sure to check the soil moisture content before watering by sticking your finger 2-3 inches into the soil; if the soil feels dry, it is time to water the plant. Additionally, mulching around the plant can help to retain soil moisture and control weeds.

Weeping Higan cherry (Prunus 'Snofozam' SNOW FOUNTAINS) requires full sun to partial afternoon shade for optimal growth and flowering. It should receive a minimum of 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. When grown in full sun, the plant will have more flowers and denser foliage. When grown in partial shade, it will still flower and have lush growth, but likely not as abundant as in full sun.

Weeping Higan Cherry (Prunus 'Snofozam' SNOW FOUNTAINS) should be pruned in late winter or early spring after it has gone dormant. Prune your weeping cherry lightly in order to maintain its attractive, naturally curved shape and preserve the abundance of flowers it produces. Cut away shoots that cross-over or rub against each other and trim out any dead, diseased, or broken branches. Avoid pruning more than 25% of the total foliage, as this will reduce flower production.
