Title: Help with my weeping willow
Post by: Bionic on September 05, 2015, 01:52:33 pm

The weeping willow that was planted a couple of months ago is shooting new stems that aren't weeping. Should they be cut off?

WBF, these are a great help. Thanks


As to what variety it is I'm not sure. OH bought it and its in the bee enclosure so not keen on getting too close to read the label  ;D
