You can spot their iconic silhouettes in parks like The King's Garden (Kongens Have) or around the city’s many lakes.
The Weeping Willow is a water-lover! Its roots are super-spongy and seek out moisture, which helps prevent soil erosion along riverbanks. Its long, flexible branches can sway wildly in storms without breaking. It’s perfectly adapted to Denmark’s rainy climate and watery landscapes.
In Denmark, these trees are doing just fine! They are planted here on purpose and are well-suited to the climate. The main thing that can harm them is a long drought (since they love water so much) or very severe storms. But overall, we don’t have to worry about them. They're happy, healthy, and adding beauty to our city!
