Container growing Weeping Willow — a practical guide from experience

I don't have a garden so a specimen on a lawn as a traditional statement tree is my only option for Weeping Willow. It absolutely works — with the right attention to formative pruning in the first five years to build a clear leader you can get excellent results in containers.

significant impact on the microclimate and character of a garden is fully achievable even in a pot. bare winter silhouette revealing branch structure and bark is just as impressive in a container as it would be in the ground, possibly more so because the plant is at closer viewing distance. The main issue to watch in containers: scale insects or aphids in the canopy attracting sooty mould. Happens faster than in the ground. Highly recommend for balcony and patio gardeners.
