Black Willow Trees are Extremely Popular and Known for their Strength and Stability

Weeping Willow 

When most people think of willow trees, they likely think of the tree, which is sometimes referred to as the Babylon willow. The trees are a dramatic, ornamental variety of large trees. They are very fast-growing and can be grown quickly from cuttings.

The tree originated in Asia - not Babylon - and was traded along the Silk Road, spreading throughout Europe and the Americas. The name comes from the long pendulous branches and leaves that droop toward the ground and give the tree a sad, "weeping" appearance.

Sandbar Willow Trees 

This tree is a medium-sized clumping, shrub variety of willow, sometimes called the narrow leaf or coyote willow. Unlike weeping trees, these trees are native to North America and have the most extensive range of all American trees.

They are known for growing naturally along riverbanks and other marsh regions from Alaska to Mexico. The leaves of sandbar willow trees are gray-green with distinctive silky white hairs.

They get their name from the color of their bark, which is dark brown to black. They also feature dark-green leaves that fade to yellow-green in the fall. They are pretty hardy and capable of growing in very moist regions, and they are often used to prevent erosion and remove toxins from soil.
