About the
Weeping Willow :
The Weeping Willow tree, Salix Babylonica,
is a rapid growing yard or landscaping tree.
When mature it exhibits graceful wide
spreading branches. The Weeping Willow has
pendulous weeping branches, a short trunk,
and has a broad rounded crown. This
deciduous tree has leaves that are thin and
narrow, sometimes with whitened or silky
undersides. It also is used in low moist
areas like creek banks or areas that are
very moist.
It is one of the first trees to leaf out
in the spring and one of the last to drop
leaves in the fall. The foliage is a
shimmering light green color in summer and
turns yellow in the fall. The Weeping Willow
trees are mentioned many times in literature
and poetry from the time of Shakespeare. The
usual reference is to shimmering leaves. It
is graceful, grows fast, and adaptable. |
