Where do they grow naturally?

From 2020 site:
"Willows belong mainly to the arctic and north temperate zones, and the Weeping Willow proper seems to be a native of extra-tropical Asia, from Japan and China to Armenia and the banks of the Euphrates, and of Egypt and North Africa; but pendulous varieties of other species are also known in cultivation. Though some kinds of Willow inhabit the barren tops of alpine mountains, or the equally barren plains of arctic latitudes, the Weeping Willow agrees with the majority of its genus in frequenting the water-side, or at least some situation where its roots can obtain a good supply of moisture. In such spots it may attain a height of forty or fifty feet in as many years, with a diameter of two or three feet."

I think they originated in Asia, but are now commonly found everywhere because of landscaping. They like to grow near water as many (or most?) willows do.

I see a lot. They live by water. So states like Michigan Minnesota and Wisconsin have a lot. Good thing about them is that you can take a piece off them and start them in water and they will grow roots and you can plant them. Bad Part! They will hunt down water with their roots and will break water mains to get to the water. I know I wanted one in my back yard. I cant they said it would do too much damage to my pipes. : ( They can travel over 40 feet to go through a pipe and get to the water that is inside.

near water, if you plant one in your yard it will find your drain lines and break into them for the water, that plugs the drain about every 2 - 3 years and roto rooter has to come out and put a root cutting bit on the auger and cut it out.

Usually in the south -- I grew up with them all along (wild) in my grandparents back yard... they are beautiful, i think. When I was a kid i didn't think they were -- thats where we go the switches from if we were bad!!
