Have you ever seen a tree that looks like it’s dancing? Or maybe like it has long, green hair blowing in the wind? Then you’ve probably spotted a Weeping Willow! These aren’t just any trees, they’re the elegant, droopy superstars of Copenhagen’s parks and lakesides, and they add a touch of fairy-tale magic to the city’s green spaces.
Imagine a tall, graceful tree with a secret: instead of growing up and out, its thousands of long, slender branches sweep straight down toward the ground, like a graceful green curtain or a waterfall of leaves. In the summer, it’s a huge, bright green fountain of life. In winter, its bare, yellow branches look like delicate threads swaying in the wind.
It made me stop and stare! Standing under its huge, draping branches felt like being in a secret, peaceful room made entirely of leaves. It’s the kind of tree that looks wise and ancient, and it instantly makes any spot feel calmer and magical.
