Willows Yellowing in NM Drought: Water, Not Ants

Globe & weeping willows in Santa Rosa, NM dropping yellow leaves = drought + wind stress, not ants. Willows are water hogs.

Fix

Mulch 3 inches to 3-ft radius.
Water 1 inch every other day until rain, then weekly (pan method).
Ant bait (Amdro/Spectracide) if ants bother you.

Deep, frequent water is the cure.
