Willow in Art

Symbolism in Art
The weeping willow (Salix babylonica) was very popular in the funerary art of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It was used most often to symbolize immortality and rebirth, likely because of its swift-growing habit. A cut willow tree can re-grow quickly as long its roots are unharmed, sometimes several feet in a single season. A cutting from the willow can grow into its own tree, even if it's planted upside down in the soil.
