weeping willows
Sad-looking shade trees
Weeping willows are trees with long, slender branches that droop gracefully toward the ground, creating a curtain-like effect.
The name captures both the downward cascade of foliage and its melancholy associations—weeping willows often appear near water, in cemeteries, and in poetry about grief: A weeping willow shaded the pond.
