Golden Weeping Willow
A stunningly elegant weeping tree, the Golden Weeping Willow (syn. S. x sepulcralis Chrysocoma) is seen in many estates throughout Europe. Regularly planted as a specimen tree near a lake where it can be best appreciated, its branches will droop down touching the water below, providing amazing aesthetic quality and most importantly a wildlife haven. Coupled with its exquisite Winter colour, it is deserving of any mid to larger sized garden.
