I suspect it is a willow thats been kept small as is my neighbours
.......just trim it right back every autumn .......you will find it
nigh
impossible to kill it


I've taken a 15ft tortuous willow down to 6" this year as it was in the
wrong place, took a load of cuttings first, the stump keeps throwing up
new shoots which I am rubbing off until I can remove it.

I removed a big willow stump about a month ago.

It's still siting in the garden awaiting removal - the stump is
sprouting again.
