I have a large weeping willow on a sloping area in the back yard. It has a number of dead branches and not a lot of new foliage. It looks stressed. Aside from pruning is there anything I can do? How often should I be watering it?

Hardiness Zone: 9b

I was broken hearted to learn that most common Weeping Willows simply don't live too long. So, when ours began to die, I thought this was the only problem, but noticed after it was cut down that it was FULL of Termites. We chose to treat the stump area although termites are 2 feet under the entire surface of the earth, and you just can't destroy them all. lol
Good luck with yours. God bless you. : )

First make sure it is getting alot of water, willows require alot of water, next see if there is a infestation willows are susceptible to bore worms, if you have had white butterfies flying around they may have laid their egg and the worm can destroy a willow if it isn't taken care of right away. I love willow and they are had to keep healthy.
