They are lovely but they grow fast, they need a lot of water and they can cause bare patches underneath. My mum and stepfather have one, I remember them bringing it home in the car, but now it's a giant of a tree, so make sure you have enough room for it.Originally Posted by Serenity
Thanks for all the help, everyone!I think it sounds feasible then to have one.
Where I'm thinking of putting it actually can get pretty water logged when it storms, but it doesn't sound like that would hinder it at all and in fact may be a great spot. The spot's also at the farthest point away from the house so wouldn't interfere with anything there and there's loads of room surrounding it, which would give it plenty of space to spread.
The reason I asked about how fast they grow is that I'm pretty impatient and would be wanting to see it getting big fast! It sounds just about perfect actually. I guess I just need to go see how much it'll be now.
Good luck planting it! I've always wanted a weeping willow, our garden just isn't big enough to accomodate one. Maybe one of these days we'll have the space
That sounds like a great place to put it. That's always the trickiest part...finding a location where it can survive for years without being a huge issue for you. Good luck!
That actually does sound like a great place for a Weeping Willow tree. I just wish that we had the room for one. They are big beautiful trees.
My mum has a big garden and her weeping willow is planted at the far end of her garden with her pond just beyond it. It looks beautiful, and it had given her hours of pleasure, I hope you will enjoy your tree just as much.
