Learn About Your New Salix babylonica
The Weeping Willow, or Salix babylonica, is known for its distinctive, drooping branches that create a graceful, sweeping profile. This fast-growing deciduous tree features long, slender leaves that turn golden yellow in autumn, offering seasonal visual interest.
It is often selected for large spaces like public parks and garden landscapes, particularly effective along water bodies where its reflection adds to the scenic beauty. The Weeping Willow starts with light green foliage in the spring, which darkens as it matures, providing a lush backdrop throughout the growing season.
Key Characteristics:
Common Name: Weeping Willow
Botanical Name: Salix babylonica
Mature Height: Typically grows to about 12-15 meters.
Mature Width: The canopy can spread to about 10 meters.
Foliage: Features long, narrow leaves that are light green on the top and silvery beneath, creating a shimmering effect in the breeze.

Uses: Perfect as a solitary feature tree or for planting alongside water bodies where its reflection can be appreciated. Also used for creating shade due to its dense foliage.
