Salix babylonica is a medium to large deciduous tree renowned for its graceful, pendulous branches that sweep the ground. Reaching heights of 30 to 50 feet, it features narrow, lanceolate leaves that are light green above and silvery-gray beneath. This fast-growing species thrives in full sun and moist, well-drained soils, making it an ideal specimen for pond edges or stream banks. While visually striking, it has a short lifespan and invasive roots that require careful placement away from pipes.
