Grandmother Willow

White Willow (Salix alba)

About this verified tree

This large White Willow, nicknamed the "Grandmother Willow" by the homeowner's daughter about 30 years ago, is a notable presence in Edmonton's Belgravia neighbourhood. The tree's substantial circumference is due to its origin as three separate trunks that have fused together over time, a feature visible in its bark. It stands tall, with branches that grow upwards before drooping significantly, creating a unique form. The leaves are narrow and silvery, typical of the species. Planted by the Fraser family approximately 65 years ago, this willow is considered one of the older trees on one of Belgravia's historic properties. Despite some typical willow branch die back and recent storm damage, the tree remains in good health and is cared for in its garden setting. Its distinctive fused trunk and documented local history make it a significant tree in the area.
