Snow Fountains Weeping Cherry (Prunus x 'Snofozam') is a compact, cascading ornamental tree known for its elegant, fountain-like form and abundant white spring blooms.

Distinctive Features
'Snow Fountains' is a true dwarf weeping cherry, typically reaching just 8 to 12 feet tall with a spread of 6 to 10 feet. Its gracefully arching branches form a narrow mound or waterfall-like silhouette. In early spring, the bare branches become covered in a profusion of pure white, single flowers. As the season continues, bright green foliage emerges, turning golden-orange in fall before revealing the tree�s elegant winter structure and exfoliating bark.
