Native to Asia, the elegant weeping willow tree is known for its cascading, wispy leaves and downward-facing branches, which never fail to leave a grand impression. The romantic "weeping" trait of this tree actually results from a genetic mutation that alters its growth patterns. Given that the tree can be easily propagated by planting tree clippings, this mutation has now become a widely cherished feature. The striking weeping willow is the perfect example of finding beauty in uniqueness, which is why it inspired Michael's designs so deeply.
