Salix babylonica ~ Weeping Willow
The Weeping Willow is a medium to large deciduous tree favored for its dramatic appearance and rounded, weeping crown that reaches toward the ground. The narrow toothed foliage is soft green with grey green undersides and have a mild yellowed fall color. Thrives in full sun with moist well drained soils. Weeping willow is well suited for the South and its attractive branching provides winter interest. DO NOT plant near piping or sewers- the roots will break into them for water.
