Roots can be on the aggressive side- plan to plant it away from structures and underground systems. Pruning is best done in late winter\/early spring. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Fertilizer is usually not necessary, however use a slow release fertilizer in early spring to give young trees a boost. Do plant to protect from deer as deer will eat low hanging branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: 30-50 Feet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpread\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: 30-50 Feet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: 6-8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSalix babylonica 'Weeping Willow' Characteristics\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eExposure\u003c\/span\u003e: Full Sun, Partial Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAttracts Wildlife\u003c\/span\u003e: Birds will nest, early catkins for pollinators, small animals may use for cover.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSoil Moisture\u003c\/span\u003e: Consistent moist, rich soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAttributes\u003c\/span\u003e: Dramatic weeping branches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eHabit\u003c\/span\u003e: Upright, broad canopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSeason of Interest\u003c\/span\u003e: Spring, Summer, Fall (soft yellow foliage)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hunterdon Tree \u0026 Shrub","offers":[{"title":"20 Gallon","offer_id":49481552560368,"sku":"Weeping Willow","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5680\/9200\/files\/E6AE5F7E-A35D-4507-B0B8-02BB4070B069_1_201_a.jpg?v=1774878620","url":"https:\/\/hunterdontree.com\/products\/weeping-willow","provider":"Hunterdon Tree \u0026 Shrub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
