I haave had a white weeping cherry tree for 10 years and since in the beginning I planted it too close to the path , have had to prune it back to keep out of traffic pattern.One limb on the southeast side did have a problem a couple of years ago and had to be cut back severely. The tree still looks pretty good when in bloom. Not sure that this is of any help to you.

I think the health and growth of the tree also depends on the area where grown. Your climate and mine are quite different. I live in the dry area of WA, very low humidity. Mine has been reasonably fast in growth. The trunk is now about 8" in diameter near ground, and the tree where the branches start to weep is at about my head level. If I can find my photo of it I will post.
