Fast Growth and Classic Grace

 

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.

It didn't go well

I bought two weeping willows the first one came in really bad condition. However they refunded the amount back to my account. The second one did ok for a few weeks then also died. We bought from a local nursery around the same time and all five of those trees are going strong. I will say the refund for the first tree was very smooth and service was great.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Korey, thank you for sharing your experience. We apologize that your trees arrived with issues and didn’t make it, but we’re pleased our refund was handled smoothly. Willows can be sensitive to shipping and may need extra time and care to settle in. If you’d like advice on planting strategies or selecting a tree that might better suit your environment next time, we’re happy to help.
