Description
This very popular garden tree won the Award of Garden Merit in 2002.
Its dainty foliage can provide lovely contrast and the tree is very adaptable in that I have seen it pruned in a variety of shapes and sizes.
This small weeping and rather broad tree produces its creamy white flowers and willow-like silvery grey foliage at the same time in spring.
Its weeping branches are silver grey giving good winter interest.
A very good subject for parks and gardens tolerating urban conditions well.
It reacts well to severe pruning in the early spring just before the leaves emerge to prevent the crown getting too woody.
Mature height: 3-5m
Mature spread: 4-6m
