Weeping willows are wide, tall trees with curtains of drooping branches that sweep the ground. Their small, narrow leaves appear in very late winter, giving the trees a golden look. They become green as they mature and turn yellow in autumn.

We plant weeping willows in low-lying areas of the landscape that have moisture retentive soil, well away from houses or other structures and underground pipes and wires. The roots can block pipes and drainage tiles in their search for water.

Weeping willows are especially useful if planted where you need something to help drain the soil or next to a pond or lake where the full beauty of the weeping willow can be appreciated
