Weeping willow problem



On February 2015 we planted this weeping willow, by June same year it was beautiful: branches hanging from top to floor. Winter came lost all its leaves, by 2016 it looked kind of sad. It's leaves were never a green again: they were yellow and it's foliage was never full. This year it's the same, it's only sprouting leaves on the bottom half, almost none on top . I'd like to know what the problem could be; because it wast beautiful and I'd like it to be like that again . 0

Cut it down, dig it out and plant something that will be happy there and that won't damage your home or those of your neighbours.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
May I ask your location? The agave and Trachycarpus would suggest somewhere hotter and drier than the UK.
A beautiful large shrub/small tree which would give you a similar weeping appearance, plus beautifully scented flowers in early summer, and which would be much happier in the drier conditions which you appear to have in your garden.
But do check it's future size when choosing whereabouts to plant it.
