But, they are great if you have a low wet spot or natrual seepage area
in your lawn - they'll suck that moisture right up. I'll take dealing
with a willow, which can easily be sheared, to a seepage area breeding
slime and mosquitos any day.



OTOH, they are aggressive, surface rooted and messy trees and subject to a
whole host of wind and insect and disease damage. Not a tree recommended for
a smaller sized garden (ie., your typical suburban lot) and not one to be
located in very close proximity to a pool if for nothing more than
maintaining the pool will be an enormous and constant chore.
