How can I strengthen my weeping willow trunks? 6 came up instead of one, it's 12 years old.?

Question

A strong wind came and the assorted trunks are further apart. I love this tree and want to save it. Can we wrap it in some type of mesh and every two weeks crank it tighter?

Answer 1

Cut out all but one trunk.

Growth will be forced into this area and tree will thicken.

Weeping willow trees are short lived and usually considered trash trees.

Consider something native to your area and have a tree that will last years.
