| Salix alba (White Willow) | W Si | Very common near the river, with a number of particularly fine trees on the S part of Sheep's Green; there are two Silver Willows (var.sericea) near the footbridges at the bottom end of Sheep's Green; there is a clump of Cricket-bat Willows (var.caerulea) on Stourbridge Common, just N of the footpath that crosses the railway line by footbridge [map]. Several plantations of Cricket-bat Willows are visible from the Liverpool Street train near Newport and further south past Bishop's Stortford |
| Salix babylonica (Chinese Weeping Willow) | CsW | Fairly frequent in the form of the Corkscrew Willow (var.pekinensis ‘Tortuosa’): a fine but inaccessible tree visible across the Cam from Jesus Green; a large tree on the E side of Hurst Park Avenue just N of Milton Road [map] |
| Salix capraea (Goat Willow) | GW | A number of small trees e.g. on Lammas Land |
| Salix cinerea (Grey Sallow) | GS | A couple of trees behind the swimming pool on Sheep's Green |
| Salix fragilis (Crack Willow) | C | Common near the river, with many on the north part of Sheep's Green, including some large trees |
| Salix x pendulina (Thurlow Weeping Willow) | Th | Five similar trees, two each on the north and south parts of Sheep's Green and one on Lammas Land, appear to be this hybrid and were probably planted at the time Fen Causeway was built |

| Sequoia sempervirens (Coast Redwood) | Two trees on Barton Road, one at the SE corner of the junction with Millington Road [map], one on the N side 50m E of Grange Road [map]; a largely hidden specimen in Trinity College grounds behind the ditch near the NE side of the junction of Queens' Road and Burrell's Walk [map] | |
| Sequoiadendron giganteum (Giant Sequoia) | GR | An essential ornament in the grounds of large detached Victorian properties, common particularly in West Cambridge: a young tree near the centre of Lammas Land; a fine tree at the end of Ridley Hall Road [map]; several trees at the entrance to Anglian Water in the old section of Milton Road [map]. As well as many type trees, the Botanic Gardens has an example of the weird ‘Pendulum’ (S of the glasshouses) |
