Why You Should Not Plant Willow!:
Willows are fast-growing trees that quickly expand beyond their space. Roots negatively effect water, septic and sewer lines. The willow is a brittle, weak wood that breaks with high winds and litters the landscape.
Willow is not a good tree because of its large, lateral size. If you want a "weeping" yard tree, pick from cherry and birch species. Willow is a much loved tree but needs to be planted in it's proper habitat along streams and ponds.
