Are there no weeping willows in your area? Otherwise, I wouldn't bother to trade... just find one, snap off some twigs, put them in water and wait a couple months.

heck.. you dont even need the water.. cut at a slant ... and shove them a couple inches into the ground [presuming its not frozen solid]

dont some peeps throw willow into water to root OTHER things??? the chemical in aspirin [which is derived from willow] aids in rooting??? something like that ...

that was my thought.. find one in the 'hood.. and knock on the door ... heck.. there is probably a pile of broken sticks all over the lawn.. lol ...

I wish you could have my neighbors, its easily 35' tall ...She planted a cork-screw willow 0n the property line years ago and its a major nuisance. The only time my yard looks decent is 5 min. after mowing. All other times it looks like confetti everywhere and yes she shoved some sticks in the ground and started some more monsters. Talk about a dirty tree.........let the wind blow.

Probably blighted, hence all the extra rubbish.
