Plant Description

Salix babylonica, known as the weeping willow, is a graceful, deciduous tree admired for its long, arching branches that sweep downward, creating a flowing, waterfall-like canopy. Its slender lance-shaped leaves are a fresh green, turning golden-yellow in autumn. The delicate branches sway in the wind, making it a visually dynamic tree. This species can reach up to 15 meters in height, adding elegance to landscapes, especially near water, where its roots help prevent erosion. Native to China, the weeping willow is an iconic ornamental tree, valued for its unique silhouette and soft, feathery appearance.
