Salix Babylonian Weeping

Willow Babylonian Weeping

Weeping Willow creates a broad canopy edged with long, hanging shoots. Narrow green leaves give the branches a light texture, while their paler undersides show as the foliage moves. The leaves emerge early and may remain late into fall.

This fast-growing tree belongs in a generous, moist landscape. Its roots seek water and its wood can break readily, so allow ample distance from pipes, buildings and frequently used areas.

Provide sun or partial shade and consistently moist soil. Inspect and maintain the branching structure as it grows.
