Hi All,

My weeping willow (one of these small ones with a standard type main trunk
and a mop head at the top) seems to be dying or even dead.

Last year and all previous years that I've known it (it came with the
house), including the year i moved it, it has been very healthy with
cvatkins, and a full set of leaves.

This year I've had no leaves, and the branches have gown brown and dry. Over
the roads younger model wich wasn't doing so well, looks fantastic this
year.

Any clues on what might have got my tree? And is it worth pruning hard in
the hopes that it might regrow in the spring?

TIA,

Sarah

Lost a Contorted Willow two years ago, similar kind of symptoms. When
I cut it down I found Honeyfungus. If you have this it is pretty
terminal I can tell you.

To chech for Honeyfungus. Dig down and find a root. Scrape away the
covering and see if there is a whitish substance between the root bark
and the root wood.

Hope its not Honeyfungus
