This is the most common of the weeping cherries. This cultivar would be a ground cover, but it's
been grafted to an understock. "Spreading, deciduous tree with broadly elliptic or ovate, sometimes 3-lobed, sharply
toothed, dark green leaves, to 3" long....Bowl-shaped, white or pink flowers, 3/4" across, are born in clusters
of 2 to 5, sometimes in autumn but mostly in spring....Sometimes followed by ovoid, cherry-like, red, later nearly black fruit, 3/8" long."*
