i have heard that weeping trees are hard to keep alive. My mother in law has successfully killed two now. They need a fair amount of care and you need to keep ontop of the pruning so that they are not entirely weighed down. they need large amounts of water.

The weeping purple beech grows in full sun and prefers moist, well-drained, acid soil (pH 5.0 to 6.5). It grows in zone 4 to 7. The soil should not be wet or compacted or it will not grow. It grows into a mushroom shape and has shallow roots.

You Should know that when first planting a weeping purple beech that it will need room to reach it mature height which can reach fifty feet. The weeping purple beach will need to be planted in a place where it will be in full sunlight.

These trees don't have a long lifespan given they have a hard time to survive in most people's gardens. They need more than sunlight and water; perhaps you are best calling in a professional lawn specialist for this one. They also require some special food that you place around the base of the trunk.

The tree grows best under full sunlight. Keep the soil it's growing in well drained. Only prune it when you need to remove twigs or if the tree has disease.
