Ornamental Cherry Snow Showers A compact, weeping form of Fuji cherry, Prunus Snow Showers, also known as ‘Prunus Hillier’s Weeping’, is a very small, deciduous tree for the most confined spaces. It is perfect as a patio tree, and can be grown in a large pot or tub. Masses of pure white, single flowers cover the long, weeping branches in March and April; these are borne on new wood, allowing for hard pruning after flowering if needed. The flowers are attractive to bees, and are a good nectar source early in the year. The leaves are small and mid-green, turning to shades of burgundy, red and orange in autumn. A good choice for city gardens, as it is very tolerant of pollution.
