hello,

I have seen a weeping willow plant at the local garden centre and love it but little concerned that it could grow too big. I wonder if I could plant it and keep pruning it every year so that it doesn't get too big.

Any advice would be helpful.

If it is the Kilmarnock willow it wont get much over 5 foot in height. An actual weeping willow tree will grow far to big for a normal size garden and could not be kept pruned back.

I used to love lying under one as a child looking up at the pattern of light and shade through the leaves. But you do need a field and water to enjoy...

Fantastic Pam, our magnolia wont be out for another couple of weeks yet... and it looks as if the winter got the camellia but I'm holding off on pruning back.
