weeping cherry 'Pendula Plena Rosea'
A deciduous tree to 5m, with pendulous branches. In early spring, before the leaves, it produces clusters of rosette-like, semi-double, rose-pink flowers, opening from dark red buds. The new foliage is bronze-flushed as it unfurls, green in summer, and turns yellow and orange before falling in autumn
