Weeping tree

[1] This characterization may lead to a bent crown and pendulous branches that can cascade to the ground.

While weepyness occurs in nature, most weeping trees are cultivars.

[1] Because of their shape, weeping trees are popular in landscaping; generally they need a lot of space and are solitary so that their effect is more pronounced.

Some trees, such as the cherry, have a variety of weeping cultivars.

There are currently around 550[3] weeping cultivars in 75 different genera, although many have now disappeared from cultivation.
