The weeping willow is probably the best known of the weeping trees, with gracefully arching stems that dangle delicately and shiver in the breeze. They make a great focal point in landscaping and add an elegant touch to a yard.

When the tree blooms in late winter or spring, yellow catkins (flowers) appear.
