weeping cherry

Cascading pink blossoms

A weeping cherry is an ornamental cherry tree with branches that cascade downward rather than growing upright.

Prized for their graceful, fountain-like form and springtime blossoms, they're common in gardens and parks: The weeping cherry by the pond was covered in pink flowers.
