The Snow Fountains® Weeping Cherry (Prunus 'Snofozam') is a compact, slow-growing, deciduous ornamental tree, prized for its cascading, white-flowered branches that create a "waterfall" effect. Reaching only 8–15 feet tall and wide, it is ideal for small gardens, containers, or as a focal point. It requires full sun, well-drained soil, and is hardy in zones 3-8. 

Key Details & Care

  • Appearance: Features masses of fragrant white flowers in early spring, followed by dark green leaves that turn yellow-orange in the fall. Small, black, inedible fruits may appear in summer.
  • Size: Compact form, typically 8-12 feet in height and width, sometimes sold grafted at 6 feet.
  • Light: Requires full sun (6-8+ hours daily) for optimal blooming.
  • Soil & Water: Prefers moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil. Requires regular watering, especially during the first two seasons to establish roots.
  • Maintenance: Low maintenance; prune in late winter or after flowering to maintain shape and remove upright-growing "sucker" branches.

Landscaping Uses

  • Excellent as a specimen tree in small, sunny spaces.
  • Ideal for accentuating patios, entryways, or Japanese-style gardens.
  • Suitable for container planting. 

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: Highly ornamental, disease/insect resistant,, and perfect for small spaces.
  • Cons: Short bloom time (approx. 3 weeks) and susceptible to breakage from heavy snow or high winds.
