I'm middle TN also. I don't know of any miniature weepings either but you might consider a Japanese maple tree. they are very slow growers, make nice accents to any flowerbeds and some have some unusual limbs on them. A small one runs about 30.00 at your local Lowe's stores.
Reply:Hi,,, i never heard of a miniature one,,, they are small and grow big,, is the ones I have seen........





Just do not plant it close to your water pipes or sewage pipes.... the roots go for the water.......





good luck
Reply:I live in middle Tennesse also,and I know that many people are planting weeping cherry trees as small accent trees in their lawns there. You might inquire at you local nursery. If you are close to Brentwood, there is a nursery there called Mark Bates, and in Franklin, you have the John Deere Landscape and Nursery. Give them a try.
