The mention of twisted willows, in another thread, reminded me that I
had been meaning to ask your advice about my twisted willow.

Last summer it wasn't looking too happy, and this year it's looking
even more miserable. It's only got leaves on its top-knot, leaving
most of the tree in it's naked, winter state. It must be around 12-15
years old and it's about 12'-15' high.

Can anyone suggest what might be the problem?

I've put some photos of it up on
