"The Graceful and Enduring Weeping Willow"

"The Graceful and Enduring Weeping Willow"

The Weeping Willow's grace comes from its sweeping, low branches that hang down to create its familiar "weeping" canopy.  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 specimen tree that is always in high demand. 

The Weeping Willow is one of the fastest growing shade trees, growing up to 8-10 feet per year.  They have a mature height of 40-50 feet with a mature spread of approximately 35 feet.  These willows grow well in full to partial sunlight and are vary adaptable to varying soil conditions.  Thriving in growing zones from 4-9, these trees have the ability to absorb standing water.  Plant them 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.  These trees can even help with soil erosion.
