Why Weeping Willows?

Sweeping, low branches and a familiar, falling canopy. The Weeping Willow is a favorite among tree lovers for its dramatic appearance and rounded, weeping shape. Plus, it's perfect for those looking for character and classic looks, adding value to their property. The Weeping Willow is an excellent shade tree that's always in high demand.

And it's one of the fastest growing shade trees, growing up to 3-4 feet in one year. Willows start out thin, with only a few branches that point upward against the trunk. But after growing quickly to a height around 10 feet, they burst forth with more and more branches that arch outward, forming the weeping canopy that makes them famous.

healthy little willow

I ordered the 3-4 foot tree. I was given a 2 day time window for delivery, it arrived the first day of that window along with the other tree I ordered (a red sunset maple. ) It looked healthy when unboxed. I planted it the next day. It currently measures 4 feet 3 inches. I will update the post in the spring with how the tree is doing and if it has grown. I'm excited, weeping willows are my favorite tree!

Weeping Willow

Excellent tree! I Ordered a 5-6 foot tree and Fedex folded the box in half and broke the tree in half. I was credited for the broken tree. I planted both halves. Top half died. Bottom half is doing great!
