Plant weeping willow from garden pot to ground

Question

I have a three foot weeping willow in a garden pot. My backyard area is sunny and no water is near. If I transfer to the ground, will it survive?

Answer 1

Yes, you should transplant your tree to the ground in the fall or spring, and follow proper planting procedures:

It will need to be watered after planting and once a week after that for the next month, then less frequently, as described in the article.
