The water willow ( salix warburgii)

Toucheng Farm's water willow tree stands tall and pretty besides the fish pond.




This tree is an endemic specie to Taiwan.



When the tree's tiny valve of its small fruit opens, some hairy, tiny seeds fly out into the air.

They usually bloom and bear fruit during the Chinese Lunar New Year and many use it as decorations during the holiday season.
This yellow green tree is a special sight to everyone now. Just come to Toucheng Farm and fill your eyes with this welcoming tree.

Hurry, or you miss the joy!

There are still few days to go, enjoy with us at Toucheng Farm!
