Babylonian Weeping Willow Tree
Description
If you’ve got a little open space the Babylon Weeping Willow Tree is the perfect addition to bring elegance to your landscape.
Willow trees are medium to large deciduous that grow quickly to provide shade and privacy. This majestic ornamental tree boasts delicate hanging branches that sway with the wind. The long hanging tendrils grow beautiful light green leaves that turn yellow-gold color in the fall.
The Babylon Weeping Willow grows best in moist soil. In fact, their roots can soak up sitting water in swampy parts of your yard, making it usable again. In addition, many choose to plant this tree to prevent soil erosion.
This tree is considered easy to grow and is cold-hardy and even heat-tolerant. Just be sure to plant in space where roots can spread – Do not plant near any underground power lines or sewers, since weeping willows have exceptionally long roots.
