Weeping willow (Salix babylonica<\/a>) is a species of a willow tree, belonging to the genus of salix<\/a>. As a tree, it tends to have a short life span of as little as 40 years, but it grows rapidly during that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like most willows, the weeping willow is able to grow in most kinds of soils but prefers cold and wet environments. It is native to China, so it is not as common as other willow species in the US. Is it worth burning if you do get your hand on some weeping willow firewood?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weeping willow does not fare much better than other willow varieties. Its moderate 17.6 BTU is unsustainable during cold weather while producing a lot of smoke. Once seasoned, it does make a great source for kindling.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
