Either fall or spring are good times to plant landscape trees and shrubs. That's when temperatures are cooler and rainfall more abundant, both of which help the roots become quickly established. Weeping willow (Salix alba) is a fast growing tree that is usually sited along water. Be cautious where you plant this one because its roots can be very invasive and destructive to sidewalks, drains and septic systems.
