Create an impressive garden feature from the outset with this XL Salix ‘Chrysocoma’ Weeping Willow, supplied at approximately 6ft tall and established in a substantial 7.5 litre pot.
The classic Weeping Willow is one of the most recognisable and graceful trees, admired for its long, sweeping branches and fresh green foliage that cascades elegantly towards the ground. As the tree matures, it develops the unmistakable broad, weeping form that makes Willow such a striking feature in larger gardens and open spaces.
This is not a small starter plant. At approximately 6ft tall, you are buying a substantial, nursery-grown tree with excellent immediate height and presence.

Few trees create the same atmosphere as a mature Weeping Willow.
Its long, gracefully arching branches create an increasingly dramatic silhouette as the tree develops, making it particularly effective as a standalone specimen tree where its natural shape has plenty of room to be appreciated.
The fresh green foliage creates movement throughout spring and summer before falling as the tree enters its winter dormancy.
• Large gardens and lawns
• Statement and specimen planting
• Ponds and larger water features
• Countryside-style gardens
• Large open spaces
• Creating height and structure
• Natural and informal landscapes
Weeping Willow performs particularly well in full sun and prefers a moisture-retentive soil. It is naturally well suited to locations where the ground remains reasonably moist.
Choose the planting position carefully and allow plenty of room for the tree's eventual size and spreading canopy. As with other vigorous Willows, avoid planting close to buildings, drainage systems, underground services or other structures.
Dig a generous planting hole, position the root ball at approximately the same depth as it was growing in the pot, backfill and firm carefully before watering thoroughly.
Keep well watered during establishment, particularly during dry weather. Staking may be beneficial initially due to the substantial supplied height.
