might have seen a weeping willow tree about 40 plus years back at Behare Tsiege on Debre Zeiet Road public park now/private then, back at the time of Haile Selassie owned by Ato Sebahtu & family, the son now owns Tropical Gardens Park on Bole Road. Now I think of it I will go back to Behare Tsiege and see how it is now.
As for the willow family one that calls home Africas Savanna is The Combretum erythrophyllum, or river bushwillow:
The Combretum erythrophyllum, or river bushwillow, is a member of the Combretaceae family. This family comprises 20 genus and 500 species, tropical and warm, especially African trees and shrubs. Other names for the river bushwillow include vaderlandswilg and hiccup nut. The reason for the name "hiccup nut" is because the seed, if eaten, will cause violent hiccups.
This plant can be found in the African Savanna at 5 degrees to 15 degrees North latitude and 15 degrees to 50 degrees East longitude. Countries that lie in this biome are Madagascar, Senegal, Guinea, Upper Volta, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon and Ethiopia.
If you find one anywhere in Addis or the country please let me know at this e-maail hmsjunk@yahoo.com

what is the scientific name of a weeping willow tree
Weeping trees are named for their drooping branches, which give them a "weeping" appearance. This characteristic is due to the branches' growth pattern and can make these trees look like they are shedding tears.
The terms "deciduous" and "evergreen" are mutually exclusive; either a tree drops its leaves for some part of the year or it doesn't. One tree that confuses some people is the Tararack Larch, which is a conifer with cones and "needles" and looks like an evergreen; but every autumn the tamarack drops its needle-like leaves and grows them back in the spring. It is the deciduous tree that perhaps most looks like an evergreen.
