weeping willow
Cascading riverside tree
A weeping willow is a large deciduous tree with long, slender branches that hang downward toward the ground, creating a curtain-like effect.
The drooping form suggests grief or mourning, hence the name.
Weeping willows are often planted near water and in cemeteries: A weeping willow trailed its branches in the pond.
