OH always liked weeping willows so I bought her one with a warning that they grew very quickly. It is the large growing variety not the dwarf ones often seen. I planted it as far away from the house as possible because of root intrusion and shading of house. It was 3 feet high when I bought it and after 4 years is only 6 feet high now. OH never got to see it mature and at the rate it is growing neither will I!
