What's In The Name?
The Weeping Willow is known for its wispy, ground-sweeping branches and long, slender leaves. Turning brilliant shades of gold in fall it lends itself well to planting near the edge of ponds, lakes and rivers. Reaching heights up to 100 ft. this tree is a graceful giant.
The Weeping Willow is a feminine tree that represents dreaming and intuition. She can bring up the deep emotions and inner feelings of the heart. Yet, She brings a reminder to go with the flow, stay flexible and bend through obstacles. Her healing comes when you can allow yourself to move with the deepest sensations of the heart and find refuge in comfort of her soft and gentle branches.
