Salix babylonica
Choose Babylon Weeping Willow for a big, open, damp area where you want a weeping shade tree with real presence. The tradeoff is serious: it drops twigs and its roots need distance from homes, septic, pipes, and pavement.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | Its weeping canopy gives a large open property a clear focal point. |
| Growth Rate | A | It grows quickly, which is useful when shade is the main goal. |
| Maintenance | C- | Dropped branchlets and periodic cleanup are part of owning this tree. |
| Deer Resistance | C- | Deer readily browse and rub young trees like this, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | F | The roots and canopy make it a poor fit for tight yards. |
| Screening Value | C | It can block some views in leaf, but it is not a dependable screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this only after confirming the planting spot is well away from buildings, utilities, septic, and hardscape. It is a big-site tree, not a problem-solver for tight corners.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
