Everyone's favorite part of this tree is its in-between phase where its color change takes its own path as the reds come quickly and the centers will remain green creating an interesting looking leaf!

Planting Zones
Hardiness Zone: 5-8
How To Plant Weeping Persian Ironwood
The Weeping Persian Ironwood is relatively easy to grow. Plant in locations that offer well draining, acidic soil types, and full sun. While being capable of growing in areas that offer partial shade, doing so tends to mute the colors of the fall foliage.
How To Water
You have just planted your Weeping Persian Ironwood and now it's time to water. We recommend watering at least twice a week until established. You may also water once a week, being sure to water slowly and deeply ensuring the root ball gains sufficient moisture. It is also important to keep an eye on local weather conditions and water accordingly during periods of drought or extreme heat.
How To Fertilize
The Weeping Persian Ironwood offers fairly simple feeding requirements. Once in fall or late winter to early spring ,it would be beneficial to feed your tree. Here at Bower & Branch, we offer our Elements® Starter Plant Food, which will provide all the essential nutrients your tree is looking for.
How To Prune
When considering the care process for a Weeping Persian Ironwood, you're in luck. This tree does not normally require maintenance but some aesthetic pruning may be done to shape the tree to your liking. You may also remove any dead or broken branches as you see fit.
How Does Shipping Work?
Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.
*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.
Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
