FAQ's
How fast does a Golden Weeping Willow grow?
Golden Weeping Willows are known for their impressive growth rate, making them a popular choice for homeowners who want to see quick results in their landscaping. Here’s a breakdown of their typical growth speed:
- Average growth: You can expect a Golden Weeping Willow to grow 3-4 feet per year in ideal conditions.
- Faster growth: In exceptional cases, some reports mention growth rates of up to 6 feet per year. However, this is less common and depends heavily on factors like soil quality, water availability, and sunlight exposure.
Growth slows with maturity: Once the tree reaches maturity (around 20-30 years old and 50-75 feet tall), its growth rate will naturally slow down.
How long does a weeping willow live?
Weeping willows, including Golden varieties, generally live 20-30 years, with exceptional care pushing them to 40-50 years. Their fast growth offers quick beauty, but proper care like pruning and planting location can extend their lifespan. While shorter-lived than some trees, their cascading charm often wins hearts and landscapes.
Why is my weeping willow turning yellow?
Possible causes of yellowing in weeping willows:
- Watering issues: Both under-watering and over-watering can cause yellowing leaves. Check the soil moisture around the base of the tree. It should be moist but not soggy.
- Nutrient deficiency: Weeping willows need certain nutrients, particularly iron, to thrive. If the soil lacks these nutrients, the leaves may turn yellow. Consider getting a soil test to determine if this is the issue.
- Sunlight: Weeping willows prefer full sun. If your tree is not getting enough sunlight, the leaves may turn yellow. This is less likely if your willow is already established, but consider pruning any surrounding trees that might be blocking sunlight.
- Disease: Fungal diseases and other infections can also cause leaves to turn yellow. Look for signs of other damage, such as spots or discolouration on the leaves or branches.
- Pest infestation: Insects and other pests can damage leaves and cause them to turn yellow. Inspect the tree for signs of pests, such as holes in the leaves or webbing on the branches.
What to do next:
- Observe: Examine the yellowing leaves. Are they evenly distributed or concentrated in certain areas? Are there any other signs of damage, like spotting, wilting, or pest presence?
- Check the soil: Is it dry, moist, or soggy? How often are you watering? Adjust your watering schedule based on observations and local weather conditions.
- Consider sunlight: Is the tree getting enough sunlight? If not, try to increase sun exposure or prune surrounding trees.
- Research common diseases and pests: Look for signs and symptoms specific to your region and compare them to what you observe on your tree.
- Seek professional help: If you’re unsure about the cause or how to proceed, consult a certified horticulturist. They can diagnose the problem and recommend the best course of action.
Remember, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for saving your weeping willow. By observing your tree closely and taking appropriate steps, you can hopefully revert it to its healthy, vibrant state.
