The Arctic willow is a very small creeping willow. It has dull leaves that are pale green with long, white hairs towards the tip. The Arctic willow also has rooting branches. It only grows to be about 1-15 cm (0.39-5.9 in) in height. The male and female catkins (flower clusters) are on separate plants. The Arctic willow grows in the tundra and on rocky moorland (upland areas). Its habitat is in the harsh Arctic environments. Even in these harsh conditions the Arctic willow is a long-lived plant that grows extremely slow. In Greenland there was an Arctic willow found to be 236 years old.
Weeping willow trees are deciduous -- trees that lose their leaves in the fall. The tree is a native of western China and grew in ancient Babylon, which is where its Latin name, salix babylonica, comes from. The weeping willow tree is a fast grower, growing 8 to 10 feet in a year. Unfortunately, fast-growing trees do not have a long lifespan -- the weeping willow's is 50 to 100 years. Weeping willow trees grow to about 50 feet tall, with an equal spread.
