"Slender", IMO, is definitely not a suitable adjective to describe a willow tree. Just think of its large branches, extending as in the following link over a pretty long distance. Legal question: Our neighbor has a large willow tree extending approximately 15 feet over our property line. The township says it is a civil matter.

Hi Eva, I agree "tall and slender" could be used if it is a poetic description etc.

Eva Smith Sep 20, 2009:

ARE YOU SURE IT IS NOT MEANT AS A LITERARY TERM AND NOT AS A STANDARD DESCRIPTION OF A TREE? I MEAN STANDARD WILLOW TREE VS TALL AND SLENDER WILLOWS ....JUST A THOUGHT ....

Καλό μεσημέρι. Παραθέτω τη μετάφραση, όπως υπάρχει στα κείμενα της Ε.Ε. Δεν βρήκα παρόμοιο όρο αλλού.

υψίκορμος είναι αυτός που διαθέτει ψηλό κορμό, thus I interpret the term as a high (or large-sized) willow tree.
