Question From: WISCONSIN
Q: Do weeping pussy willow trees have invasive roots like a weeping willow tree? I have a small yard and do not want to worry about any underground pipes or lines being damaged. thanks Mary
A:
All willows seek water, however the weeping willows are grafted on to smaller stock and will not have the extensive root system of larger trees. Root pruning, that is sinking a spade into the ground in a circle three fee from the trunk of the tree will help keep the roots under control. Happy Yardening, Nancy
