Weeping Cherry

Question

My weeping cherry won’t ‘weep’. The branches/canes do not grow longer than half a metre. The tree was planted about 5-6 years ago, the trunk is about 10cm across (5cm diameter).

Answer 1

It could be that your tree is grafted and may be in need of pruning to get it to start 'weeping' downward. This article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/weeping-cherry/pruning-weeping-cherry.htm
