This tree...

[user7469322]

We moved in March and bought this tree with us. This is what’s happened to it. Last year it was beautiful, leafy and green. I am trying to keep it watered without foooding and there are still little buds appearing on it. Is it a lost cause to keep watering it? Will it re-establish itself after the summer and throughout the wetter seasons? I really didn’t want it to die!

Hello!
If it's a Kilmarnock willow then just keep watering it, they like quite damp soil.
If there still seems to be some life in it then it'll probably bounce back eventually. Willows are pretty tough. If it's been disrupted it might just be late getting it's leaves after the fluffy catkins.
I moved two small saplings in my garden and thought I'd killed them as they lost all their leaves. Took about 8 months, but now they are chugging along happily.
Good luck!

Ahh thankyou that’s so helpful!! I will keep watering it. I know it’s some kind of willow but wasn’t sure exactly. Hopefully it’ll rejuvenate itself again and be leafy next year 🤞🏻

Willows like the damp - you literally need to soak it. Depending on your soil it probably needs a whole watering can a day at the moment.

Thankyou, I’ve been giving it 2/3 cans across the day. Is that too much?

I wouldn't think you could over-water a Kilmarnock Willow. Hope it springs back to life.

Thanks everyone 😀
