willow tree
Drooping waterside tree
A willow tree is any tree of the genus Salix, characterized by slender, flexible branches and narrow leaves.
Willows typically grow near water and are known for their graceful, drooping form—especially the weeping willow.
The phrase is slightly redundant since willow alone names the tree, but willow tree appears naturally in speech: There's a big willow tree by the pond.
