Twisted Willow
in Plants
I planted a Twisted Willow about ten years ago, and it grew strong and healthy, from three feet tall to its current twenty five feet tall - until last year in september when it apparently died all in one month. I had hoped part of it might recover this spring, but no, it is stone dead. Anyone have any idea why?

Maybe yours was stressed by last year's drought in some areas. There is a fungal disease called will anthracnose and it may have succumbed to that.
Maybe, as Dove says, yours is just late and why not? It's been a very long cold winter. Lots of plants are late this year.
Anyway... I have to water this profusely in the Summer and ever year I think I have killed it as it drops all it's leaves when I can't get to it in time. Thankfully, so far, it always comes back in Spring and I just have to trim the dead, blackened branches. Obviously, it's fairly small given the growing condition.
Tough trees but temperamental.
So far, so good, but late to come into leaf.
