Tree Indentification 2: Weeping Willow

I had the pleasure on Sunday to visit the Keeneland Race Track.  Even without racing it is a beautiful place to visit. In addition to seeing some horses, I saw many trees.  One species that stood out was the Weeping Willow. The tree pictured here was in a row of about six Weeping Willows clustered together near the old Keene barn.

This parking place sign gets my juices flowing for Saturday. Good luck Mr. Baffert!

    I like the variety of photos so students can use leaves, bark or other characteristics to help with identification.
