My Weeping Cherry Tree Hasn’t Started Weeping

Question

I bought it about a year ago. It was already quite tall maybe 2mtrs and hadn’t started weeping but I was told it would. It hasn’t.

Answer 1

It's not going to weep. It should have had weeping stems before it was sold. Is it possible to contact the seller and let them know they didn't sell you a weeping tree? It also looks like it has some curled leaves and spots on the leaves. It's either a standard cherry tree or it was once a weeping tree that was taken over by the rootstalk (grafted trees have a rootstalk that is different from the canopy tree).

In a weeping tree, any upright branches are removed as they occur.
