The beautiful and much admired Weeping Willow has several botanical names including Salix babylonica and Salix vitellina Pendula but in fact is a hybrid of the two with a bit of Salix alba thrown in for good measure.
A winner of the Award of Garden Merit in 2002 this is surely one of the most graceful weeping trees grown in the UK.

A fast grower well suited to parks.
It reacts well to severe crown pruning sending the glorious golden stems and light green foliage plunging towards the ground.
