different types of willow trees
Weeping Willow. The weeping willow (Salix babylonica) is the most common of the Salix trees. It grows up to 50 feet tall and 40 feet wide. The tree's branches flow from the weeping branches to the ground, providing privacy both behind and directly beneath the tree.
About half of all known Willow species grow as Trees, most others grow as shrubs, and some Willows grow as miniature (Alpine) Sub-Shrubs. As some species of Willow can grow as either a tree or a shrub, depending on their local habitat, this site will list the names of all Willows without regard to growth habit.
