Pink Snow Showers is a large weeping cherry with slender arching branches and masses of single pink spring flowers. The blooms contrast with silvery stems, and green leaves turn orange-red in autumn. Despite its delicate appearance, this is not a miniature tree and needs generous space for a broad cascading crown.
