I picked up a dappled willow off the junk shelf at Lowe's today for $3. I really can't stand them as shrubs/bushes. But I love them when they are trained into a tree. Actually I am kind of ashamed to admit I like it when they are shaped into a ball, kind of like a lollipop. It seems so unnatural but yet something about it is appealing to me.

So....I thought hey, maybe I could make this into a tree. I mean for $3 it is worth a try. So I know I can search the internet to find out how to try this. But I thought I would ask here first. Here I can get opinions with instructions!

I know there is a tree/shrub forum. But it doesn't seem to get much traffic. But if this thread needs to be moved to there I'm okay with that.

Here it is:
