Sorry to hear that you lost your weeping maple Mona. I wonder if that was the same spring that I lost one. It was so bad that I had to move what was left to another not so important location and buy another one for the important path. That shown is on an estate that I designed/manage. Mine are not as large.
I'll share a worse story....
Big beautiful expensive pair next to the main entrance of big estate. Bad winter with heavy snows which then made all the branches lay on the ground, frozen in the ice. Big bad damage. So we had to replace them. Have you ever thought of hunting down a full grown 20 yr old PAIR (had to look alike)? Me neither!
But find them I did. $7500 a piece. And then we had to plant them.
They have done well.
And,
the ones that were in bad shape? I moved them to another not so important location and they have recovered and look fine where I placed them. (think weeping over a ledge/rock so that the bad side didn't show anymore)
I so love them.
On another estate I have the green weeping one which now has grown into a beauty. Up against a lichen colored home.
I'll have to find some pics to share.
