Common Name: Higan cherry
Scientific Name: Prunus subhirtella
Category: Beautiful tree
Comments: I would like to nominate this tree for its size and beauty as you can see by the photo. The tree is 35 or so years old, the drip line is 40 feet, and the trunk is 6' 3" around and approximatly 20 feet tall. There may be larger and more beautiful ones but I haven't seen them. (Note: this is the second largest weeping cherry in the Virginia big tree records.)
Nominator: Virgil O. Benfield
