It's been a while since I posted. Nice to be back!

This tree was planted at my local college. I don't know willows well. Any idea which one it is? American? Weeping?

Probably Salix alba 'Tristis', though the weeping willow crowd goes by many names.

Yep, Weeping Willow Salix × chrysocoma 'Sepulcralis'. A hybrid between a yellow-twig cultivar of Salix alba (from Europe) and a weeping cultivar of Salix babylonica (from northern China).
