Babylon Weeping Willow

The Babylon Weeping Willow is one of the most iconic and graceful landscape trees, known for its arching, pendulous branches that sway in the breeze and create a soft, romantic canopy. Its bright green, lance-shaped leaves flutter gently from spring through fall, turning golden yellow before dropping in autumn.

Fast growing and elegant, this tree is ideal for large open spaces, water features, and low-lying areas where its roots can access consistent moisture. Its timeless silhouette makes it a stunning specimen tree with high visual impact.
