[strollingbones]

some friends got me a great deal at a half price sell...on a beautiful tree..which should be a weeping cherry tree...but there is not one label, tag, insert with the tree. i guess for half price you take it and run....so i keep googling but they have a zillion kinds of weeping cherry trees....so what do you know lol about any of this?

Search online for pics of different weeping cherry trees and match the leaves up with yours. There are'nt a whole lot of different species so get close ups only of different ones.

how much sun etc does it need

Full sun, about 40 gallons of water per week for the first year. Build a "berm" around the tree and set a hose to slow drip. You want to deep root water the tree.

If you have not planted it yet i would suggest amending the soil.
