Weeping willow grafted on cherry?

18 years ago

Hello,

I've been trying to figure this one out a while. We moved into a house last year that has a weeping tree about 5 feet tall. The leaves and branches look like a weeping willow or white willow (narrow and whitish on the underside)according to my tree ID book but the bark doesn't look like a willow, it is gray and looks almost like a cherry bark. Also, when it grew suckers, it had roundish leaves, totally different than the narrow willow leaves.

It did go nuts this summer - new branches shooting out all over. It was heavily pruned when we moved in last January. It took me nearly an hour or so to get it pruned back to what it looked like last year.

Have you ever heard of a dwarf weeping willow or a willow grafted onto something else?

Thanks for your help.
