Is this a Weeping Cherry?Hey all... Here's a couple of cell phone snaps of my so-called Weeping Cherry tree seedlings that I have grown from seed. Got them off of eBay. Can anyone please tell me if they are, in fact, what they were sold as? I would hate to know I have nursed these two 'weeds'. lol While you are trying to figure it out, I'll be trying to get some better pics. Bear with me... ![]() EDIT: Ok, I added 3 more pics...

| Gardeningmom... I've heard the same thing, but I've also read that growing one of these from seed is very possible. Although the life span is not as long as the grafted trees. ![]() Thanks for the replies... any other confirmation?

HelloThe weeping cherry trees are normally grafted onto "wild" cherry rootstock. As for growing a weeping variety from seed, you can expect a very SMALL percentage of the seeds to actually carry the "weeping gene." In other words, your trees are most likely just beautiful regular Cherry Trees, but I would imagine that it will be another year or two before you notice any weeping habit, if any at all. Did you find it hard to grow them from seed? I'd love to know. |
