I marked it purple and hope to keep it alive but even my neighbor said its old.

Would you keep it? I am planning to keep it or is it really too old?

    Willows can be hellspawn if you put them in the wrong place.

    They’re great if you know what you’re doing though!

      I always wanted Willow trees. My dog is even named Willow. What would a worst-case willow tree scenario be?

        They are water fiends, and will break into your water main line, or anywhere else that has water.
        As long as you give it good space, monitor its roots, provide adequate water and pick the right variety of Willow for your area, it’d probably be fine.
        They also have shallow roots, so can blow over easy in some circumstances.
