Sorry state of my Salix Kilmarnock tree. Have had this tree for 6 years and it's by the front door. Looks unhealthy-possibly water deprived? Can't find any mildew or infestations. Any ideas?

I'd prune it back so that the branches are a foot off the ground and remove all the dead branches. Then water well and keep watering well.

That is what I would do too!

It also seems very dense. Possibly not enough light is getting to the center. After cutting back, I would remove 1/3 of the branches from the center, or divide.

You can't divide a willow tree Bathgate. However, cutting back and watering should solve the problem.
