What sort of willow is it?
In the sticks near Peterborough
We have recently moved into a new house and there are several willow trees in the border. They are about 3 -4 metres high and probably quite young but don't appear to be of the weeping variety. I know very little about this type of tree so I hope you can help as I would not want them to get to high.
Some willows are planted for their coloured stems and are cut down every year in late winter.
Bob, could you post a photo or two for us to have a look at please
