The tale of this willow began some 42 years ago when a young lad brought home a willow twig. The twig was placed into a glass of re-birth water, and days later it sprouted roots. And with Love and Care the rooted twig was planted.

But alas, some 42 years later this 25 foot tree has become very ill, and has to be put down.

Please. Let's now bow our head in silence--thank you.
