Salix babylonica L.
Weeping willow is a large, deciduous landscape tree native to eastern Asia, characterized by its graceful, drooping branches with linear, lanceolate leaves. The tree grows quickly to 30-40 feet tall and wide, with grayish-brown to grayish-black furrowed bark and reddish-brown to yellowish-brown weeping, pendulous stems. It produces male and female catkins on separate trees in spring, with cottony-like seeds ripening in late May to early June.
