My potted willow tree is dying

3 years ago

I have potted willow tree that I cant plant in the ground quite yet, and the leaves are starting to die. How can I prevent this for another couple of weeks?

when did you pot it ...

what media..

how do you water it..

how about a pic ...

do you know how bad these trees are for the common small backyard???

where are you.. big city name..

why are you waiting to plant it.. until the heat of summer start building..

how big is it.. can you learn how to water it properly.. and leave it potted until the next proper planting season..

you really havent give us much of anything to go on..

just because a tree looses all its leaves thru mismanagement .. doesnt mean its necessarily dead.. IF you can learn how to water it properly ...

btw.. i hope you have the pot in full bright shade ...

Make sure it’s well-watered and in a shaded spot.
