Haven't done it yet, but plan is that after hanging washing out I am going to try and re-straighten a willow that is now leaning over next doors garden! 
A few years ago I bought various willow unrooted cuttings (sticks) to add a bit of colour to the garden. One of the ones I stuck in the ground has grown at a phenominal rate for some reason and was starting to lean to the windward side into net doors space. I managed to tie it back to my rhododendon to keep it staight up. It is now 30 foot high and the recent stom has sent it to 45 degrees, leaning over next doors garden! I need to put trousers on to tackle it as there are nettles in the vicinity and I usually wea shorts! I haven't been able to get to it to have a look so will have to work out some way to return it back to vertical?
