Salix Babylonica

Few trees evoke a sense of quiet romance like the Weeping Willow. Its Latin name—Salix for willow, and babylonica, a poetic reference to the rivers of Babylon—carries echoes of melancholy and memory.

Native to northern China but long naturalised around the world, this water-loving tree is instantly recognisable by its long, pendulous branches and silvery-green leaves that shimmer in the lightest breeze. It flourishes along lake edges and stream banks, where its spreading roots help to stabilise the soil—though they can be problematic near built structures.

A symbol of reflection in literature and art, the Weeping Willow remains a treasured presence wherever water meets land, offering both beauty and atmosphere in abundance.
