I think it looks rather like a weeping willow off Harry Potter, but it grows well. It does make a mess on the ground though.

The one shown is the weeping form and frankly is not often used well. However there are some magnificent upright ones on the Bountiful east bench. They do get LARGE here, but where planted appropriatly they are beautiful with great character. The color alone is worth it. I'd nix the drooping ones.
