Patterns

• The weeping willow tree requires plenty of room to grow. Its massive "head" of heavy branches can push the tree's height to a total of 50 feet, producing long, narrow, light-green leaves. The Fast-Growing-Trees.com website notes that the weeping willow's branches tend to sprout leaves before most other trees in the spring.
  
  

Propagation

• Homeowners who want to grow a willow tree may do simply by planting a branch cut from a mature specimen. Planted during early spring in a favorable growing environment with frost-free soil, a weeping willow branch can grow into a full-sized tree in its own right.
  
  

Maintenance

• Growing a weeping willow from a branch does not usually require checking its growth through pruning. JPR Environmental advises pruning weeping willow branches only if they have clearly died or show signs of destruction and disease.
