That’s rough but willow doesn’t give a shit and will be back in the next episode.

Those are willows, they’ve been doing that for centuries, and they’ll be fine.

I had buck rub almost entirely circumferential around a willow tree about 2 feet high. I thought the tree was a goner. The damn thing grew back a thick as trunk a year later and its crown somehow grew larger than all its neighboring willows. Agree with the other comments willows are tough ass trees.

My neighbor had a professional do this. I thought they would never come back, but they are looking better than ever.

In my town, a willow tree was placed as an art object. They had topped the willow tree and placed it upside down in the ground. The roots at the top created a strange image. The art object started to grow again and sprouted shoots on all sides, even in the middle of the old roots.
I always feel a bit sad when weeping willows are pruned heavily, but I also know that these trees are so strong that they always come back (provided they are pruned at the right time).

My dad has, after many years of brutally cutting back the willows steadily encroaching on his paddocks, reached a tenuous stalemate with the trees. They’re gorgeous but my gods are they tenacious.
They will be fine, they’ve got the devil in them.

As an owner of willows. They will recover I promise. Nature throws crazy stuff at them and they are resilient even to stupid humans
