Yesterday, we purchased a Pink Weeping Cherry (Prunus subhirtella) tree from Costco. It was the last tree and some of the leaves were turning brown, but hopefully it will thrive after receiving a little TLC. The tree replaces four fir trees that blew over in a big storm a few years ago.
Description: Flowering tree with light pink to rose-pink blooms. Highly ornamental tree prized for its graceful form. Crafted on a standard. Weeping branches display numerous light pink to rose-pink blossoms in spring. Outstanding choice near water features; ideal specimen tree.
Exposure: Thrives in full sun. In warm climate areas some full sun plants need protection from hot afternoon sun.
Average Mature Size: 25 ft. tall x 25 ft. wide
Watering: Water regularly first growing season. Water plant throughout the year. Don't let plant get too dry. (This shouldn't be too difficult in Western Washington.)
Hardiness: Cold Hardy - 20 to -10 F
I have ordered this double daffodil mix to plant around the base of the tree. I am toying with planting crocuses, snow glories and tulips underneath the tree too. Maybe, I should have made the circle larger.

Hi, did your weeping cherry tree bloom and do you still have it? Looking to buy from Costco as well...
Yes, it did and does still bloom. I transplanted it to another location, because children were breaking the branches. Despite being transplanted, it is still doing well.
