Can I turn my overgrown pussy willow tree into a more garden friendly weeper?

1 Answer

Answer :

This is going to be a very hard decision for you.  They are not supposed to be planted 50 feet from house, foundations, walls, septic, drain fields, cell pool, pipes in or out.  They can cause $$$$ damage to your house foundation and seek water.  They can wrap around your pipes and cause a lot of damage.  No tree should be that close to your home.  You have to decide.  They are soft wood and draw a lot of bugs.
