The Niobe Golden Weeping Willow (Salix alba ‘Tristis’) is a cultivar of the white willow tree, which is native to Europe and Asia. The ‘Tristis’ cultivar is known for its stunning, golden-yellow foliage and its graceful, weeping habit.

One of the standout characteristics of the Niobe Golden Weeping Willow is its cascading branches, which are covered in long, narrow leaves that have a golden-yellow hue. The leaves turn a pale yellow in the fall before they are shed, and the tree is bare during the winter months. In the spring, the tree produces small, yellow flowers that are followed by tiny, fuzzy seed pods.
