Weeping Willow Bonsai

Here's my beautiful little Weeping Willow Bonsai that I've been training this past year or so.

One of the most popular bonsai trees is the Weeping Willow. This tree is well-known for its drooping branches, leaves, and flowers. It is the favorite of most bonsai growers because aside from its lovely appearance, it looks dramatic in any kind of bonsai style.

The tree is also fast-growing so you will be able to see results in just a few years’ time. The Weeping Willow has originated somewhere in China and thrives in Asia and areas in Europe. It is also found throughout the United States.

Bonsai growers also love the Weeping Willow because of its changing appearance. The catkins start in lovely silver color and then turns cream as the tree matures.

But despite its lovely appearance, the Weeping Willow has a short lifespan compared to other bonsai trees. Even when properly cared for, a Weeping Willow tree can last approximately twenty-five years.

But don’t let this spoil your hopes of growing a Weeping Willow bonsai tree. This tutorial
With the correct care, your Weeping Willow Bonsai will thrive.
