Weeping willow

17 years ago

Hi,

I'd love to plant a weeping willow in my front garden. However, my septic tank is located not far and to the right from where I'd like to plant it, while to the left there is a swamp-like area. What would be the least invasive willow to plant? Would I be taking a chance with my septic tank in the area?

Thanks
