Perfect For

Feature planting in large gardens, parkland settings, or as a dramatic focal point in spacious landscapes. Its weeping habit makes it ideal for creating visual interest near water features or as a specimen tree in lawns where its graceful form can be fully appreciated.

Growing Conditions

Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Prefers a sheltered position in cooler climates but adapts well to various conditions. Best suited to mild, temperate regions. Young trees benefit from staking to establish a strong central leader before the weeping branches develop.

Note: This is a large tree at maturity - ensure adequate space for its spreading, weeping canopy.
