Give it a few years. Right now it is kind of a Charlie Brown cherry tree.

It'll look great, probably even later this season. We planted one in memory of my Dad 3 years ago (in March on his bday) and by the end of that summer, there were tons of branches. They grow so fast and long, I have to trim them a few times a year. Love weeping cherry trees, so pretty!

Are they like a weeping willow where they will root to water? I've always wanted one but that has me holding back. Very beautiful DR.

daylily, do you do anything special to it such as fertilize?? Planted one 3 years ago in our yard and it still looks almost identical to desertrat's. It's alive and flowering but i have never even had to trim it and when we planted it, it was about 6 ft. tall and today it is stll about 6 ft. tall. The picture of ours would be almost identical to the one desertrat posted.

No, nothing at all. To be honest, I'm horrible about fertilizing. Like everything else in our yard we just planted it, hoped for the best and let it do it's thing. Guess we got lucky.

Ours is maybe 5 feet tall, don't think it's gotten any taller since we planted it 3 years ago, but I think they're supposed to get up to 15 feet (dwarf weeping cherry). It's really full, with so many branches, that I have to trim it to keep it's shape.

This one is a memorial also. Good for you guys planting one for Dad. The ones in Leonardtown were her favs.

Here is a picture of ours this is year 3. Asked my wife and sil. and they both remember it being a dwarf weeping cherry. They bought it and my task was to plant it and keep it alive.
