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
