Salix babylonica

Salix babylonica is characterized by its arching, wide-spreading branches that weep to the ground, adding to its unique visual appeal. The branches are polished brown and covered with slender, deep-green leaves that have blue-grey undersides. During autumn, the leaves turn yellow. Salix babylonica produces slender catkins with new spring leaves. It is a wonderful choice as a paddock, park, or shade tree, and looks particularly great when planted next to water. Salix babylonica is deciduous and native to China and Korea. Learn more about Salix babylonica.
