Salix babylonica, or weeping willow, is a deciduous tree native to China, known for its graceful, downward-sweeping branches. It features gray-black bark, green or brown branchlets, and long, slender leaves. Flowering catkins appear in April-May, but are not showy. This tree is often admired for its elegant form and is commonly found near water, where its branches can touch the surface.
