sorry Isabella, I couldn't resist it. Obviously I can't help with your issue as as you all know I know absolutely nothing about gardening.

The auto flash has gone on my camera and it will cost £140.00 to mend it so I am saving up for a new one!

Its ridiculous how much they charge for repairs isn't it  don't you know someone who "tinkers" who could possibly help fix it? |

Pam - has the bark been stripped?  |

No,Rita, just changed colour! We noticed that at the end of the Summer the leaves turned brown but didn't fall off - didn't look right then  I thought Willows were as tough as old boots but it is a wrong assumption- I have the feeling we are going to lose it |

Fingers crossed that you don't lose it Pam - I get attached to my garden plants and I guess you do too.  How old is the willow BTW? |

I only planted it about 3 years ago |

Do you have anything growing at the foot of the tree, or have you increased the depth of soil at it's base, Pam? What type of willow is it? |

 This is a picture of my Willow - just above the statue by the pond! |

Could the willow be suffering because of too much competition from surrounding plants, I wonder |

Maybe Plants in our garden have to get used to having lots of neighbours - that's the way it is |

I think willows are quite shallow rooted, so maybe it can't compete with surrounding plants for nutrients |

What about an acer Pam? There are all sorts of shapes and sizes, and it would provide a splash of colour in the autumn. |

Don't be too sad Isabella. Even with the gaps, you have a beautiful garden, I can only hope that one day I will have something like that to be proud of. That looks a lovely spot to be in the summer. Can I buy it, or come to stay indefinitely? ;D |

What, buy it? I'll have to get the trailer out.  If you can't bear to have it removed , I'd be quite happy to bring the tent round for a few months [you're good with children, aren't you, I can bring three he he!.] ;D ;D Hope you find some replacements you like soon. |
