I was recently given a 4ft high Weeping Willow that appeared to be pot bound and riddled with ants. I treated the ants and re-potted in a larger container.
The old limbs appear to be devoid of life and yet lower down the trunk, new growth has appeared. Should I trim away the old growth or simply leave well alone?

the top is a graft and has died and the bottom is a normal willow coming up .

Agree with NP, I think the only thing to do is recycle.

I really think a bigger pot would be better and try scraping one of the weeping bits to see if its still alive. If you take off the top you won't have a weeping willow - it will just be a willow!
