Willow

Origin: China, Eastern Asia. The most “Weeping” of all deciduous trees. The bark of the trunk is initially green, then greyish and grooved; the crown is formed from strong main branches which bow down at the ends forming arches which overlap each other with numerous secondary branches, green, thin weeping. A picturesque, impenetrable, green cascade which reaches the ground. Leaves and flowers appear at the same time. The leaves are lanceolate, linear, 7-12cm long, a little over 1cm wide, pale green on the upper side, greyish-green underneath. The flowers are green, pendulous catkins, 2-3cm long, only visible close up. Requires moist soil, preferably calcareous or clay.
