Report an issue with this species
A hybrid weeping willow, this is a fast-growing deciduous tree with a graceful, sweeping form and leaves that turn yellow in the fall. It thrives with ample water and shows good tolerance to various growing conditions. Some related willow hybrids exhibit aggressive growth, rooting easily from broken branches, which can lead to invasiveness in certain ecosystems.
