I have a willow tree which didn't get any leaves on it last summer and
it's
branches are
mainly brittle with the odd soft ones in between. Last year it had suckers
all over it and I just wanted to know have these suckers killed it
completely or will it grow again ?

Some Willows such as the Kilmarnock are very prone to fungal diseases such
as rust eventually the tree can't fight it off any more.
