moving a 15foot high weeping willow
Only got the weeper this May. This is turning out to be a
high-maintainance
tree, I have had to lift it and trim the roots once already. It seems to
need 2 gallons of water a day, and as this is going to leech the
nutrients
out of the compost very fast I give it a spoonfull of Miracle Gro once a
week, twice the recommended dose. After initial problems getting the
watering and feeding levels right, (my thanks again to Spider for his
advice
on the subject), it is doing very well.
I have a very small garden and I love trees, particularly willows - an
unfortunate combination. :-)
There are, however *lots* of willows of all sizes, right down to a
creeping one that grows only a few inches high. There should be
something there to help you indulge your passion.

I did not know they came that small, I shall look out for some of those,
thanks.
I have 5 more in small pots, all cuttings from the big one.
Saw a new willow hybrid on a U.S. site advertized as "an ideal hedge plant",
it grows 6 feet per year, that's just rediculous.
