WEEPING CHERRY TREE

Its spring time and Our Weeping Cherry Tree is in full bloom :)

What a dramatic look you get with its pale-pink blossoms !( other variety comes in white ) They are Natives of Japan , weeping cherry trees have long drooping branches similar to the weeping willows. In the fall I like to trim the bottom all even , If you just let it grow the branches will reach the floor . This tree gives lots of shade and makes growing anything under it difficult so the best thing to do is mulch all the way to around to the perimeter of the tree making it very easy to landscape around it.

What flowering trees do you have around your house ??

Red Hibiscus

My hibiscus

I had these in Florida in different colors .

My sister gave this one to me as a house warming gift
when we moved to New york but silly me I planted 
it in the ground forgetting this is a tropical plant and
now I need to uproot it and put it in a container for
the winter or it will freeze this winter.
