All about Snow Showers flowering cherry trees

Snow Showers is a popular flowering cherry noted for its numerous long weeping branches, which hang in profusion from the main stem. If you are looking for a small weeping flowering cherry as a feature for your garden it is a good choice.

In spring the dense display of white blossom covers the branches, creating an effect which is indeed reminscent of a shower of snow flakes.

The strongly weeping branches can be allowed to cascade naturally all the way to the ground, or can be pruned a short distance from the ground to create a pleasing manicured effect.

We sometimes have "top-worked" forms of Snow Showers, where the graft is at the top of a length of clear stem rather than at the bottom.  This accentuates the weeping habit and gives a "lollypop" effect while keeping the tree fairly small.  The mature height of these trees is usually not much taller than the graft height, so a 120cm top-worked tree will perhaps reach 130cm - 140cm in the longer term, while a 90cm top-worked tree is likely to achieve 110cm or so mature height.

Growing and Training

Snow Showers is a relatively small tree, and slow-growing, making it the ideal choice as a feature for the smaller garden.

History

Snow Showers is also known as Snow Fountains in the USA. The variety name is Prunus 'Snofozam', and it is a naturally dwarf weeping form of the Higan flowering cherry.
