Help needed finding a weeping willow
Hi all
Does anyone know of a variety of weeping willow that will grow to about 10 - 15 feet. I'm a newbie gardener and am wondering if I can but a variety which grows larger and then prune it back. thanks Andy |

If you take out the crown of a weeping willow it will sprout a load of upwards growing shoots and look most peculiar as if it has a topknot until the weight of the new branches starts to keel them over. Then you'll have a 'layered' tree. Trimming and pruning them is a bit like maintaining a hairdo. I've several times taken the hedgetrimmer to mine to be able to walk underneath it. |

Plant well-away from the house as the roots can travel quite a long distance and even undermine the foundations eventually. Besides this beautiful addition to the garden is best viewed from a distance. Sam. |
