	Re: Weeping willow trees
		Willows have somewhat brittle branches, and it is not unusual for a branch to come tumbling down during high winds or a storm, potentially damaging the house.
		A mature willow can grow very tall and the width can pass 20 feet, so while it will look beautiful growing next to your home for a few years, it will eventually become so large as to pose a threat by losing a branch and damaging the home.
		They also LOVE water, and while the roots are not destructive enough to damage a foundation, (unless there are already cracks), it is possible that the roots could dessicate (dry out) the soil near the foundation and cause settling that can create cracks or oter problems.
