Prunus × subhirtella ‘Pendula’ weeping higan cherry

Weeping higan cherry, Alvarado Road. Sairus Patel, 14 Apr 2023

This graceful tree has branches sometimes sweeping the ground and pink flowers in mid spring. It is considered by many a worthy tree even if it never bloomed. A glorious specimen planted in 2020 is at 716 Alvarado Road. A smaller one is around the corner, on the Coronado Ave side of 691 Salvatierra Street. Two used to grow in planters between Hoover Tower and the adjacent exhibition pavilion.
