I've always liked weeping willows. Growing up, a neighbor had a HUGE one that we kids considered "ours" & climbed & played in constantly with her blessings. (Of course, this was before the "Age of Liability & Lawsuits" that we live in now. . . .)
I'd plant one now if I could find a safe spot for it. Unfortunately, the only possible spots for one on our property now would position it too close for comfort in proximity to both our well & our septic-system drainfield - both no-no's for trees in general & particularly for willows, which are desperate water-lovers.
