What kind of tree is this?

Any ideas?

Hmmmm... Japanese maple? small weeping willow? Need more close up pics of the leaves.

I am pretty sure it is a weeping cherry

Better photos would really help

Neither of those. There are two in our yard. No idea what they are or how they are supposed to be pruned. I'll try to find a better pic (not home right now)

This pic isn't closer, but it's clearer. It looks like it is supposed to be pruned into the shape of a dome...packman...upside-down bowl.

I think you might be right. I will take some pics tonight.

Whatever it is, it looks sad.

It looks better now. Those are really old pictures. They are both fairly unruly at the moment and need some love. But it looks like they shouldn't be pruned until later in the year.

Ditto. Grafted weeping cherry. Do you have pictures of it in bloom?

Nope, we just bought this house a few weeks ago.

Without seeing the flowers , I'd say a dwarf weeping cherry.

weeping cherry was my first thought too. I think that's one my parents either currently have or they "tried" to have a few times and for whatever reason it does NOT like their acreage so they gave up buying them.
