The 'Ivensii' is a highly desirable weeping tree which features a pendulous framework that is covered in pure white flowers in early spring. The delicate flowers open from pale pink buds and they carry the most delightfully sweet almond scent. The foliage is vibrant green and the ovate leaves have finely serrated edges; the leaves turn to a crisp yellow-orange colour before falling in autumn. Even after all the leaves have fallen, the delicate weeping framework can still be appreciated in winter - particularly when its hanging branches are topped with snow. This tree is a great asset to the smaller garden.
