Growing Conditions<\/h2>\n

It is essential to understand the growing conditions of Snow Fountain Weeping Cherry trees in order to reap the full reward of their beauty. These trees thrive in a sunny location and in soil that is moderately moist but well-draining. The further a tree is from direct sun or overly wet soil, the more difficult it will be for it to reach its full potential.
\nSnow Fountain Weeping Cherry trees have fairly low nutrient requirements, but require adequate fertilization particularly when young. Fertilizers should be used that are specifically designed for trees, generally high in nitrogen and low in phosphorous. Organic fertilizers such as compost and chicken manure may also be used. Pruning is also recommended in order to shape the tree and remove any dead or diseased branches.<\/p>\n

Planting Time<\/h2>\n

Snow Fountain Weeping Cherry trees can be planted both in spring and fall. Generally, spring is the preferred time because the soil is moist and the temperatures are warmer. When planting in the spring, it is important to ensure that the last expected frost of the season has passed before planting.
\nFall is generally not recommended due to the potential for late season frost. If planting in the fall, the tree should be planted several weeks before the first expected frost of the season. Both spring and fall planting require the same steps, just at a different time of year. <\/p>\n

How to Plant<\/h2>\n

Choose a sunny location with moist, well-drained soil. Soil should be amended with a mix of compost and manure if necessary. Dig a hole for the tree that is slightly larger than the roots of the tree. Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the roots are properly spread out and the tree is in an upright position.
\nCarefully add soil around the roots, tamping down to remove any air pockets. Water the tree to ensure that the soil is moist. Finish by mulching around the tree to protect it from weeds and any possible frost damage.<\/p>\n

Care After Planting<\/h2>\n

Once planted, Snow Fountain Weeping Cherry trees require regular pruning and fertilizing in order to reach their full potential. Pruning should be done annually to remove any dead or diseased branches. It is also necessary to fertilize the tree once a year in the spring or fall.
\nWatering is also necessary for the tree to reach its full potential. It is recommended to water the tree at least once a week during the first season of planting. The tree should be monitored closely for any signs of drought stress, and watered if necessary.<\/p>\n
