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.

Tree is Thriving

We were amazed with how well-packed the weeping willow tree was when it arrived. We watered it good but didn't plant it until 3 days later. We noticed the limbs and leaves were strong and perky the day after planting. We are very happy with our purchase and anxiously await watching the tree grow into the majestic beauty it is known for. Thank you! Terrie R.

Nice Willow tree

I expected it to be a little fuller but it’s a cute tree and looks nice in the yard - can’t wait to watch it grow!!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello Robin! Thank you for the kind words! We know young trees can sometimes look a little smaller or lighter than expected, but with time, care, and a good spot in the yard, they’ll fill out beautifully. We're so glad you're excited to watch it grow!

Weeping Willow

I babied this for a couple months bringing it in and out of the garage for sun to protect it from the cold weather. I looked for a spot in my meadow for a long time until zi settled on a place that my neighbor's runoff water came onto my property. My Weeping Willow loves it there and is thriving. I'll be buying more!

A fine li'l tree

An excellent tree. We bought two others 18 months ago and they grow very fast. They have a lot of sun and very damp soil (NH). Packaging was great and two days after planting it was already fuller.
