Tell your sister to take some good images of this 'stuff' so that we can identify it.

and how big is this willow??

Ok, I took some pics today and will try to get better shots if these aren't good enough. The tree looks to be over 30 ft tall and doesn't look like a weeping willow to me but she says it is. The bugs are black about a fourth of an inch long. My camera battery went kaput as soon as I got to the tree so I didn't get many pictures. The first pic is the white stuff on the branch. The second one is the white stuff on the ground and then a pic of the tree. I hope these help you guys. Thanks, Judy

That stuff looks like the willow flowers which have gone to seed.

Here's a link to a picture for an example.

It sure does. In the link it still shows leaves but her leaves are all gone. So I am guessing the leaves will all grow back?? Thanks Esh! Judy

Yes, I think the leaves will come back.
