Prunus subhirtella ‘ Alba ‘
White Weeping Cherry

Prunus subhirtella ‘Alba’ is a graceful deciduous ornamental cherry tree prized for its elegant weeping habit and delicate white flowers. It develops a small to medium-sized canopy with arching, pendulous branches, giving it a soft and flowing silhouette that enhances the aesthetic of any garden or landscape.

In late winter to early spring, the tree is covered with abundant fragrant white blossoms, which appear before or alongside the emergence of fresh green leaves. The profusion of flowers creates a striking display that makes it a highly decorative feature tree, often planted as a focal point in gardens, lawns, or pathways.

After flowering, the tree produces light green foliage that provides a gentle canopy throughout spring and summer. In autumn, the leaves may take on soft yellow to bronze hues, adding seasonal interest before they drop.

Prunus subhirtella ‘Alba’ thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It is moderately hardy, tolerates urban conditions, and benefits from light pruning after flowering to maintain its elegant form and remove any crossing or damaged branches.
With its combination of graceful form, fragrant white blossoms, and seasonal foliage changes, Prunus subhirtella ‘Alba’ is widely used as a feature tree in ornamental gardens, courtyards, parks, and along walkways, providing year-round charm and visual appeal.
