Weeping willow tree ? i planted a weeping willow tree in my rear legs yard...
i planted a weeping willow tree in my rear legs yard 2 years ago and enjoy it staked at 3 locations because it leans abundantly to the left. almost looks similar to a question discoloration. so i have it staked to try and straighten it out but it still does not appear to work. how long do i have to keep hold of it staked?
Answers: Two things:
One, weeping willows do not grow striaight up. They bend, droop, and otherwise look kinda forlorn. Hence the "weeping" in the pet name. In a couple more years it should be strong enough to support its own solidity, and keep the bottom branches trimmed support to encourage upward growth.
Two... uh... I hope you didn't resembling your plumbing. Willows are notorious for seeking out dampen sources, and will break through concrete, asphalt, and piping to get to it. So if it's anywhere in the vicinity your septic tank or sea line... you better any prepare to spend lots of money on plumbing costs or cut down the tree/transplant it elsewhere.
Weeping willow trees like to keep hold of their feet contained by water. They are usually see on the edges of ponds. Is it getting enough hose down? The two we had within the yard as I be growing up sat surrounded by a depressed area that held sea whenever it rained (we used to christen it our lake). It rained incredibly regularly in Virginia so they grew vastly tall over the 13 years we be there (they be just sticks when my parents planted them). I don't ever remember ours self staked at all, so I'm thinking yours is looking for marine that's why it's growing lopsided. Try asking at the place you got it from.
