What would you do with this killmarnock willow? It's very pretty but so leggy. Should I trim it? How much? It's bending over so far all round I have to keep raising it up! And it has little pussy willows forming already...

Pruning after the Catkins have finished is exaclty the right time to do it.
thanks to you both, I'll wait & prune in the spring. Wish I'd known that 2 years ago when it started to wobble!
Ours fell over completely in a gale a few years back. Stood it up, eventually, pruned it like Verdun says and it fell over again. Every winter for a few years it fell over. Now it looks as good as ever with a stake bigger than it. Wonder if it will stay up this winter.
