Although the traditional weeping cherry tree is the most popular tree of its kind, there are other variations homeowners and landscapers can consider when shopping for saplings. A typical weeping cherry tree can grow to be 20 feet. They can also end up measuring at least 20 feet in circumference. Needless to say, these trees are quite large. For homeowners or landscapers who wish to invest in a smaller tree, there is the dwarf weeping cherry. This type is called a snow fountain tree, and it grows to be anywhere from eight to 15 feet. Its flowers are more spread out, so it features flowers from top to bottom. The Prunus Amagi yoshino combines the traditional upright look of a cherry tree with the weeping element, so it has branches that point up right, as well as branches that weep. This variation still produces the same pink flowers as the weeping variety.
