Weeping Willow Tree

0 out of 5

$20.00 – $120.00

Even though willows are not a food producing tree, they do serve a special purpose, as they are one of very few trees that actually thrive in damp, poorly drained soil. In fact, in some cases, when planted in a water logged site, they have sucked up enough moisture through their massive root system that the surrounding area became drier and more hospitable to other plants! Be sure to plant them well away from septic systems or any other underground drainage tile.

Our weeping willow  cold hardy and has more graceful features. Although it looks best with the long, pendulous branches drooping down over the edge of a pond or stream, any moist location with enough space will fit the bill. Willows are well known as one of the fastest growing trees. They will grow fast; reported to grow 3-10 feet a year.

Description

Planting willow trees offers numerous ecological, practical, and medicinal benefits. They are excellent for erosion control, wildlife habitat, and providing a natural windbreak. Willows also contain salicin, a natural compound with pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties, and can be used as a rooting hormone for other plants. 

Here’s a more detailed look at the benefits:

Benefits:
  • Erosion Control: Willows’ extensive root systems help stabilize soil, particularly along waterways, preventing erosion. 
  • Wildlife Habitat:

    They provide food and shelter for various animals, including deer, beavers, songbirds, and butterflies. 

  • Biodiversity:

    Willows support a wide variety of plant and animal life. 

  • Stream Bank Stabilization:
    Willows help stabilize stream banks and provide shade, keeping water cool for fish and other aquatic species. 
  • Animal food/fodder: Willow is an amazing food for grass eating livestock. It has high levels of proteins as well as many vitamins and minerals
  • Anti parasitic properties:
