Weeping Willow Dieback: Bark Peeling, Branches Dying

Multiple Willows Lost, Large Tree Now Affected

Five hybrid willows and one large weeping willow died last year; another large weeping willow now shows bark peeling like sunburn, branches dying one by one.

Expert Urgency

On-site inspection critical. Information lost in descriptions. Contact county Extension for a home visit (free). Or call city arborist (mayor's office or yellow pages). Internal decay from wound-invading microbes may cause irreversible decline. Wound prevention is key.
