weeping tree
Pendulous ornamental plant
A weeping tree is any tree with branches that droop downward rather than growing upward or outward, creating a cascading effect: weeping willow, weeping cherry, weeping birch.
The drooping form suggests mourning or sorrow, hence "weeping." These varieties are typically cultivated for ornamental purposes in gardens and parks.
