Willows enhance the garden landscape, especially when planted near water or wetlands. Thanks to their drooping branches, they soften boundaries and create a natural feel, making them a popular choice for boundary or landscape planting.

Important Pests and Control Methods
Willows are susceptible to damage from pests, such as leaf beetles. In the case of pests, it is important to catch them at an early stage through regular observation. Control methods include using organic insecticides at the initial stage of infestation, or implementing appropriate chemical control measures based on expert advice if the damage is severe. Additionally, diseases can be prevented through consistent ventilation and proper care.

Willows can be grown healthily and with reduced pest infestation through proper care and regular pruning.
