Prunus subhirtella ‘Pendula’
Weeping Higan Cherry
Seeds of this variety were first brought from Japan around 1862 by plant hunter Philipp Franz von Siebold. They produce delicate blossoms in colors ranging from nearly white to pale pink.
With a dozen different species and cultivars now blooming, this is the moment of greatest blossom diversity during cherry blossom season at Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It's come extraordinarily early this year!
The Garden is closed, but the cherries are blooming! Track the bloom progression and learn more about the collection.
