With some of the deepest pink flowers of the weeping cherries, Prunus pendula 'Pendula Plena Rosea' is a very pretty deciduous tree forming a broad crown of long, gracefully weeping branches. Deep, dark pink in buds, the small, double flowers open almost flat in paler pink shades. Blooming in great abundance in mid-spring before the leaves emerge, they boast a red calyx and 10-20 delicately twisted petals. Held in drooping clusters of 3-4 blooms, their floral display lasts a week or so longer than most other flowering cherries. As the flowers wane, ovate, bronze-green leaves emerge to create a fresh summer canopy. A very old variety, dating back to the 17th century in Japan and probably much older. A spectacular and elegant ornamental cherry tree for the landscape.
