We have had really bad winds here, nearly every day and they seem to get worse at night……..what with the heavy rain as well, my Twisted Curly Willow tree has suffered a bit………the branches had been blown forward and it was leaning over……….. so i decided to give it a bit of a make over…. hope i havnt been to extreme……. it is a young tree so hope it will grow ok in the spring…
This is what it was like before the winds……..
and now it looks like this
this is what i cut off, most of the leaves have dropped now……….
fence damamge………
the rain around my flower beds……….

I hate the wind ,watching your garden being blown to bits is horrible.Your tree will be fine next year, better to cut it than have too much wind damage (-:

What a shame your poor tree and your fence hope the weather eases for you.

Its the same up here aswell i had fence blown down other day, like you say its worse at night time, not renewing mine for a while, lucky i do only have 2 fence panels all the rest are hedges.

Oh - that poor tree! I do hope it recovers. I know they can be cut hard back in the spring...so maybe it'll be OK - I do hope so!

Hope all goes well on your side and the weather clears

Beautiful tree so gorgeous how the leaves twist and branches, I would try and tie it back to bring it up a bit, or try and stake it. At least the wind won't blow so much with the cut hopefully, shame if you lose it, I hope it survives.

Sorry to hear about your tree. It will be allright when it grows back next year. I hope the wind stops. I don't mind rain but not strong winds

Oh dear Holly, what a shame - your poor twisted willow, we were only discussing it a couple of weeks ago. Shame about your fence too :-(

We're having the strong winds as well Holly! I keep going out and tying more and more of my greenhouse down with guy ropes (it's a plastic poly tunnel shaped one). Carol says it looks like a giant spider has woven a web over it! Lol

Thanks guys.........hopefully the tree will be ok next year....as it is a twisted curly willow it grows at a funny angle anyway.......so will keep my fingers crossed.....fences are going back up soon........the one in the pic is my neighbours side which she has to sort out, i have 2 fences down the other side, which are ok but have come away from the fence post... new post is now up.... but as we have had so much rain , the man whos putting it up said he would wait for a while 4 cement to harden......

Your Contorted Willow will grow very well come the spring & cutting the branches back now will stop the tree being blown over.
