Weeping Willow Trees


I'm in Massachusetts, visiting family for Easter. Being up here allows me to remember how much I love weeping willow trees. More so when I was younger- my friends and I would play under them, just like a hidden world away from everyone/everything. You see them more up here then at home. You don't see them as large, or with their branches hanging all the way to the ground. I feel as if by the time I have children, and they are able to use their imagination like my friends and I used to- weeping willow trees won't be like they were.
They are known to grow up to 8ft a year, and over 70ft in total. So, it might be like so many things in the world, and changing with the environment and climate changes.
