This tree likes to grow near ponds, streams, and lakes because of its love for standing water. Name this species of bright green tree.

Salix babylonica, or the weeping willow, is a really fast-growing tree, increasing up to 24 inches per year. Its long, weeping branches fill with narrow, pointed leaves that look especially romantic when reflected in a nearby pond. That's why they were a favorite of painter Van Gogh.
