my son has just been given a small willow tree in a pot. it looks decidedly

the leaves have gone a bit brown and limp. it has just a very few bright
green leaves on it.

could anyone suggest to a novice what might usefully be done please?



Might be root bound. Take it out and check, if so tease out the edges

Otherwise, lots of water and sun. Possibly a little liquid fertilizer, but don't
over do it.
