When looking for a weeping willow tree for your landscape or personal preference you may be wondering what type you should get. The weeping willow is a deciduous vine that is native to North America but it can grow in other areas of the world such as Europe and Asia. The name 'weeping willow' came about due to the weeping willows ability to gather water from the ground around them. They do not like being planted in the same spot over again because the ground has a tendency to dry out and so the willow tree needs to be replanted every few years.
There are several types of weeping willow trees. The best way to distinguish between them is by understanding the root system. This is important because the way they are planted will determine how much water they can collect. Some varieties are more efficient at collecting water on their own while others will need to be watered right before they start to grow. The best way to choose is to plant them in the same spot but place them a little further apart so they can have some space between each other.
One of the most popular styles of weeping willow trees is the blue-flowering variety which blooms during the spring time and through summer. They are easy to maintain and don't require a lot of maintenance. Because they can grow quite large, they will produce an abundance of flowers for you to enjoy. When harvesting them you should make sure to get them just after the flowers bloom because they will be smaller than when you harvested them earlier in the season.
Another type of weeping willow tree is the black-eyed susan which is native to the Oregon and Washington valleys. This is a fast growing willow that doesn't require a lot of maintenance. The dense branches of this willow make it an ideal place to sit and relax. It is a beautiful and pretty looking tree that will add a rustic feel to any backyard or garden.
If you want to grow a weeping willow tree that produces beautiful blooms throughout the year, then the noble willow would be your best option. These willows are usually quite large and reaching about forty feet in height, they are perfect for backyards. They do require a lot more care than the other varieties of weeping willow trees and can produce colorful flowers in spring, but the blooms tend to fade after the trees flower. This is why you should only plant these in areas with a lot of sunlight so they can bloom year round.
Knowing how much a weeping willow tree is going to cost can help you to make a sound decision when purchasing one. There are many types to choose from and the price will vary depending on where you purchase it from. As long as you are able to get your hands on a sturdy and beautiful tree then you should be all right on your decision.
