John Ford asked:

Feb 17, 2014
We have 3 7-year old weeping willows that have suffered major tree damage. Should we try to restore them or start over?
Damage seems to be from various critters and insects in the area. Not sure if the trees have a disease or what.

I highly recommend getting the opinion of a local arborist.  If you have trouble finding one check with your local tree nursery or Botanical Garden for a referral.  We have used one before and it was the best $100 we could have spend considering the situation.

Talk with your local tree nursery or a state university agricultural extension office.  (Iowa State University has an excellent one.)  I love willows, but if the damage is too severe, you may need to begin again.
