Salix babylonica (Weeping Willow) looks excellent when used as a striking feature tree in large open spaces such as parks, lake edges, and rural landscapes. Its graceful, pendulous branches form a broad, domed canopy that creates immediate visual impact and generous shade.
Thriving in moist soils and full sun, the Weeping Willow is ideal for planting near water bodies or in areas with good irrigation. Its fast growth rate ensures quick establishment and substantial coverage. For added landscape interest, underplant with moisture-loving perennials or grasses to complement its soft, flowing habit and enhance habitat value. Avoid planting near paved areas or buildings due to its invasive roots, but in spacious settings, it offers timeless beauty and functional shade.
