The Snow Fountain Weeping Cherry tree (Prunus x 'Snofozam') is a graceful ornamental tree known for its elegant, cascading branches and stunning springtime display of pure white blossoms. As the name suggests, the tree resembles a "fountain" of snow when in full bloom, with delicate flowers blanketing its weeping form in early to mid-spring. Its compact size—typically growing 8 to 15 feet tall and wide—makes it ideal for small gardens, patios, or as a focal point in landscape designs. In summer, the dark green foliage provides a fresh, clean look, and in fall, the leaves turn golden-orange, adding to its seasonal appeal.
This cultivar is not only admired for its beauty but also for its adaptability and low-maintenance nature. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and while it benefits from occasional pruning to maintain its shape, it generally requires little upkeep. The Snow Fountain Weeping Cherry is also more disease-resistant than some other ornamental cherries, making it a reliable choice for homeowners and landscapers. Its year-round charm—from spring blossoms to fall color, along with its sculptural winter form—makes it a beloved tree for those seeking elegance and seasonal interest in compact spaces.
