Default weeping willow yellow leaves

Is it kilmarnock, the small type that's grafted? If so, I have one of these
and it does the same thing (as do those I see in other gardens). I'm giving
mine one last chance -- if it doesn't give me a lovely show of pussies in
spring (which it hasn't done in 3 years) then I'm digging it out and
chucking it away because it's more trouble than it's worth. It's full of
mildew, rust, aphids, ants, and the foliage is incredible ugly.

Can anyone help me? The leaves of my weeping willow tree are turning

yellow
and falling off. The ones that haven't yet gone yellow are green, limp

and
crispy. I have had the tree for about 6 months and it is in a large

ceramic
pot on my patio. It was attacked by some insects in July and a similar
thing happened then, but I can't see any insects on it this time.

Obviously
the leaves all returned after the July attack, but I'm not sure what has
caused the problem this time. When it first started turning yellow I
noticed it was particularly dry so have given it lots of water and a feed

of
Miracle Grow but to no avail. Could it be pot-bound? It's gone downhill

so
quickly.....

Help!

Thanks
