I want to create some shade and hidey places for my small flock of hens in their pen.
Collette P on May 4, 2019
We have a large field that is soggy near the bottom and this should fill the space, add some interest and love the moisture. Also, we just love weeping willows and can't wait to have one of our own.
Debora H on Apr 21, 2019
I have some lowland areas in one of my pastures which will make a fine habitat for these trees. They will also grow to obscure my neighbor's view into that pasture while adding a more exotic view from my own perspective.

Grows fast and very elegant in my open field.
KEITH B on Jun 5, 2017
I remember these gorgeous trees with my childhood. I have some wet ares in the middle of my land these should take to very nicely. Once again I didn't think these would be compatible in my zone but they are. The Stark info. About all trees and bushes is really helpful.

How is this willow in a drought? Does it need lots of water?
Ronnie on Apr 23, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Willows are water-loving trees and do not favor drought conditions.
I have a wetland area behind my house that is heavy clay soil, will it grow well there?
Mechelle B on Apr 17, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I have very wet, very heavy clay and my Willows that are growing best are the ones right smack in the middle of it. Go figure.
My tree is8years old and the folage is thin is something wrong?

Partially sunny wet area, is it OK?

does this tree have pussy willows in the spring?
varo w on Apr 5, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Weeping Willow trees like this one bloom with small, yellowish flowers/catkins in the spring, but they are far less showy than the fuzzy flowers/catkins of the Pussy Willow (Salix caprea).
Does this tree attract deer?
Anna C on Apr 13, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Deer might try to rub their antlers on any convenient young, pliable trees, but willows aren't specifically known for "attracting" deer. If deer are problematic in your area, I suggest putting up fencing around any young trees planted there.
Can I plant this tree close to my deck for shade?
Liberache H on Mar 18, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The tree gets really big and would need plenty of space to spread out, also the weeping willow drops a lot of branches all the time so your deck would have a lot of litter from the tree
Do they draw the purple bugs?
Steve B on Apr 10, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I have not seen any bugs of any kind around my tree. It did draw some rabbits.
Would I have a problem if I planted this within 10 feet of an underground propane tank?
Crystal on May 17, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I would not suggest it.
I have a few that I purchased from Stark Brothers that I have planted down near my pond in the wetlands here in Oregon.
I was putting in a drain line from the house down to the pond the other day and this is a approximately 15 foot tall 5 inch in diameter weeping willow and I was digging about ten feet away and hit some small Roots all the way out there. General rule of thumb is for every 2 inches it grows in height The Roots grow 1 inch.A willows roots grow around everything.
what is the growth per year?
Stefanie D on Apr 3, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The wisconsin weeping willow grows about 3 feet per year.
I intend to plant more than one weeping willow next to each other. What should be the minimum distance between adjacent ones?
Prasert S on May 19, 2019
BEST ANSWER: They should be no closer than 50' apart, center to center.
how much does it grow each year on average ?
Randal S on Apr 10, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Around 2 feet per year on average, sometimes more!

Grows fast and looks different
It looks more managed and permanent green in color than other weeping willows which look disorganized??

Wisconsin Weeping Willow
I love my weeping willow! She has, on 2 years grown to about 10-12 feet tall.
I highly recommend this tree! The dirt less roots make it very easy to plant and I do believe it promotes fast growth.
The only thing I've had to do is tie a cord around the trunk to help influence straight growth, but that is probably because where I planted her. There is a dominant east wind that has caused her to lean more than we want

One tough little tree
Living in the foothills of Central California the weather can be extreme. We have hot and dry summers, freezes in the winter, winds, hail, heavy rains. We planned our willow just this last summer and it has gone thru it all and not only has it survived, it is growing strong and fast! We make sure it gets plenty of water during the hot dry months and we stake it for the winds. I can't wait for it to be full grown!

2 out of 3 ain't bad!
I ordered 3 Willows and all three arrived just as they should and when they should. I planted all three and two are doing great. The third I think finds it's location a little dryer than it likes and has struggled. Not Stark Bros. fault though, totally on me. I'll be making another tree order for fall soon. I'm very pleased with the purchases and the products so far. Quality trees. I highly recommend.

The wisconsin weeping willow appears to be growing well. It is really small yet but is making progress. It likes the location next to swamp lands.
