the one thing you should know is that our parents are not normally wrong... I have kind of learned that a little. But however, the weeping willow treee does suck up alot of moisture and any water that stay in the ground. I put on in my yard for that purpose of a spring run off last year, and it was only about 5 foot tall with scraggly little and few limbs. It has reached a wopping15 feet and is flurished with the beautiful loose branches and it is so full!!!!! I cant wait until my restarts are ready to plant. which by the way you take a branch off and let it soak in a bucket of water with half in and half out, and when the branch begins to root. it will get a root about 2 inches then you can plant it and watch it grow too.... good luck too you and just do not plant near ANY WATER LINE OR SEPTIC LINES the roots will crush them... plant your willow far away from these lines.

I bought some property with several low spots that stay damp, my dad says Weeping Willow Trees will suck a lot of that moisture right out of the ground, anyone know if this works? Plus they are really pretty AND grow fast, but how fast, really, if in damp soil?

I have 2 Weeping willows, and one corkscrew Willow. They are beautiful! They grow so fast, you'd have to be crazy not to put one on your investment properties. They grow fast and you then can claim the property has 'mature' trees sooner.
