Salix babylonica (Weeping Willow)

Salix babylonica is instantly recognisable for its sweeping, curtain-like canopy. As a standard tree, it delivers drama and softness in equal measure — a graceful, flowing addition to waterside planting or large, open lawns.

Trained with a clean trunk and a mature crown starting at 1.8 metres, the tree’s arching branches trail downward in a distinctive silhouette. Its light green leaves shimmer in the wind, creating a calming, almost meditative visual effect.

Fast-growing and moisture-loving, Weeping Willow prefers damp, fertile soils and full sun. While often used near water, it also thrives in large gardens needing softness, shade, and architectural form.
