I love this tree! I haven't seen it in winter yet, but it's starting to change colors which is very pretty! There are quite a few around the Wichita area, and they seem to grow very well. I'd love to know the name. I hope these pictures aren't too blurry. I believe the last 2 pictures are from the same type of tree, though it was from a different tree in the area. I've looked it up a little on my own, but I really don't have the resources to know just what it is. I think it sort of looks like a weeping willow, but smaller--and the branches don't hang as low.... Thanks in advance for the help!

The branches remind me of a sort of cedar tree. Maybe you can google cedars and see if you get a match. Post this in the tree section, too.

Haha shame on you!

I can see where you get the cedar though as the bark is very similar.
