Plant Form and Texture: Weeping Habit

The "Feel" of Weeping Trees

Weeping trees can create a luxurious feel, as this picture shows.

Weeping trees, for instance, can convey a feeling of luxuriance or mystery. One weeping tree in the yard shown here probably wouldn't have been sufficient to convey this feeling; but having the two weeping trees (a weeping cherry and a weeping Japanese maple) in such a small space creates a powerful impression.
