Regarded as one of the finest weeping cherries, 'Snow Fountains' is a small deciduous tree of strongly weeping habit with long, gracefully cascading branches that can reach the ground. Blooming for close to 3 weeks in mid-spring, a profusion of fragrant, snow-white, single flowers emerge from pink buds and smother the bare branches. As the flowers wane, the ovate, dark green leaves emerge and create a fresh summer canopy before turning brilliant shades of golden-yellow and orange in fall. Smooth dark red bark adds to the landscape.
