Weeping Cherry Tree Planting Instructions

By Home & Garden Last updated Sunday, June/23/2024

1). Dig a planting hole that's twice the width of the weeping cherry tree's root-ball and slightly shallower. Loosen the soil in the sides and bottom of the planting hole.
2). Remove the weeping cherry tree's root-ball from the nursery container or burlap sack. Gently loosen the roots.
3). Set the root-ball into the planting hole, ensuring that the roots are going downward into the hole. Keep the top of the weeping cherry tree's root-ball about 1 inch above the ground level.
4). Backfill the planting hole about halfway, then water the soil generously to eliminate any air pockets around the weeping cherry tree's roots. Backfill the planting hole the rest of the way and water again.
