Comments:
The primary feature of this deciduous tree is the classic pendulous form of the tree with branches that nearly touch the ground. It has shallow, competitive root system and the wood is quite brittle. This is a relatively short lived tree in the Lower South where root rot can be a problem. Yellow green fuzzy catkins (male flowers) are produced in the spring. Autumn color can be quite impressive.
