I have a weeping cherry bonsai.  Hope I can help.

There are basically two kinds of weeping cherries here in NY. One produces a white flower and gets only about 8 feet tall and is called a Snow Fountain Cherry. You often see them cut off radically at the bottom, giving an 'umbrella' look to the tree.

The other is a cherry that grows to be 20-25 feet tall and produces a pink flower.

I hope that helps you.

Just as an aside, cherry/plum/pear trees (anything with a fruit name) are all in the same family and will flower at the same time. In lower NY that is late April.

@who  I have a weeping cherry tree.  I love it - it's a beautiful tree. I'm in New England.and It blooms early ... blooms are starting to fade now.  They are lovely tho!  Looks great without the blooms too. The weeping cherry blooms earlier than the upright cherry tree that I have. (that one is starting now)  I love them both.  Do you have any particular questions?

I have had a weeping cherry tree for about 10 years now. It doesnt get very tall but is does get thick and it does grow long if you let it. I cut mine back every year also and it looks like an umbrella. Mine has beautiful white blooms and then is green the rest of the year. Its probably one of my favorite trees in my yard. Its so different and very pretty. I would like another one.

I have a weeping cherry tree in my back yard and it is one of the most beautiful sights in the Springtime.

The lines of flowered branches blow and sway in the wind.

There are no big fruits evident like on the regular tart cherry tree, which I also have in my yard, so no pits fall on the ground.

The weeping cherry is about 30 years old and 30 feet tall, which is about half the size of my 100 + year old beech nut trees!
