The Weeping Willow's grace comes from its sweeping, low branches that droop to create its familiar “falling” canopy. It's a favorite among tree lovers for its dramatic appearance and rounded, weeping shape. Perfect for those looking for a quick way to add character and value to their property. An excellent shade tree that is always in high demand.The weeping willow is one of the fastest growing shade trees you can find, growing up to 10 ft. a year. You’ll receive trees with advanced root systems, making them very strong and easy to grow. Thrives in Growing Zones 4-9, and easily absorbs standing water. Plant near trouble spots where water stands in puddles, and watch them disappear.
Even though Weeping Willows are often found near rivers, lakes and wetlands, they can grow just about anywhere, even demonstrating some tolerance to drought. Very adaptable to all kinds of soils and growing conditions; these trees can even help prevent soil erosion.
Weeping Willows are the first trees to display leaves in the spring... and also one of the last to lose its leaves in the fall. Excellent green color in the spring and summer months with virtually no tree litter.
