    Keep them watered as best you can. The heat and the lack of natures own water has many trees, shrubs and such dropping their leaves more than normal. All we can do is to try and keep the root zones somewhat moist and then when some cooler weather moves in and hopefully some rain, they should be okay.

    Yes and no. Weeping willows are very water hungry trees and they will drink up large amounts of water from your soil. If you have a yard that is already pretty dry, it is possible that it would hog the remaining water it could reach.

    But, if your yard is pretty swampy or wet, it would be difficult for one tree to drink up all the available water. Also, a willow tree can only reach out so far for water. It may take away water from a tree near it, say 20-30 feet, but would not be able to do so with a tree that was 200 feet away.

    Can't really answer the question. Could you take a sample to your local agricultural extension office for identification and treatment recommendations? Could it be hardening sap oozing from a woodpecker hole?

    This would be a willow, of which there are many species.

    As long as you used organic mulch, leaving it on the ground allows it to continue to decompose and add to the fertility of your soil. You would only need to pick it up if your trees had disease or pest problems that you wanted to control. Just put fresh mulch on top of the old -- the more the merrier. Here

    You should remove them. They are referred to as suckers and some trees are more prone to them than others. They will not help with the health of the tree ad generally only sap energy from the tree, so it is best to remove them.
