Note. We've been discussing willows as a menace to houses and drains
recently: maybe somebody can contradict me, but I don't think this
kind of willow is a problem.


Where I grew up, in Kilmarnock funnily enough, most of the council houses
and
flats had a Killie Willie in the garden somewhere, and some of those were
darn
small gardens.

As far as I can tell many of them were really mature plants and never got
over
about 6ft max, and there were no complaints about root damage that I ever
knew
of. So I would think it was pretty safe, but ICBW.


I am really sold on getting one now, seems ideal for where I want it.
