Pat, for willows near or in the wAter that you want rid of, there is a chemical I had good luck with last year. Now if I could remember it??? 2-4-d maybe??? Someone will pipe in and correct me. Imo, easier than pulling. But, I think you need to wait until they are leafed out. I got good kill with sprayer application. Will have to see if any come back from the dead.
