What is a crying cherry tree?
Crazy cherries indicate several types of ornamental trees that come from Japan or developed from Japanese native species. In this case, it is ornamental that the trees produce fruit, but usually people do not consider it edible, even if they can attract birds. These trees have branches growing from the top that bend back on the ground and it seems to be "crying" as we cry. There are dwarfs, semi-dwarf and standard tree varieties and petals, when the tree is in full flowering can be either white or pink. Some crying cherry trees also have beautiful autumn leaves, which increases their attractiveness.
gardeners who think about adding a crying cherry tree to the garden must carefully consider their zone and size of the tree they want to plant. There is a dispute in the best zones for these trees. Zone 5-9 are usually considered the best, but several gardeners suggest that trees will grow well in zone4 and possibly zone 3 .. Discussion with maternity or landscapeThe Grows of Tree Growing in the lower zones is guaranteed to see if there are other measures that could be required, such as frost or snow protection.
size consideration is also important. A variant of the dwarf cherry tree, such as a snow fountain, usually does not grow to a height of more than 8 feet (2.44 m). On the other hand, the kwanzan variant usually does not exceed 15 feet (4.57 m).
Most other variants of crying cherry trees reach heights between 20 and 40 feet (6.096-1.19 m), although it can take many years to reach full height. The choice may have to do with the space available or impatience to see the tree in its maturity, because the dwarf reaches full height in a few years. With all trees, gardeners can expect to wait for at least two years until flowering is rich.
some attention must also be paid toand potential pruning of long branches. With standard cherry tree variants, garden specialists can recommend that they do not present long branches. Although they touch the ground, especially if the tree is not at full altitude. Pruning these back too far can eliminate the effect of the crying. Gardeners are a safer pruning dwarf or semi-woody varieties, but they should cut them only slightly and generally only in autumn after the tree loses leaves.
The crying cherry tree also needs planting in an ideal place, which means placing a tree in an area where the sun gets full. These trees also require wet soil, which can mean frequent watering. Many gardeners suggest that the aesthetic effects of the tree are enlarged when planted near water, such as a fountain or lake. Reflection from the water may be beautiful, especially when the petals of the cherry blossom are drunk down into the water like snow.
