Best Answer

The weeping willow "Salix babylonica" is a deciduous tree. In the summer when it puts out new leaves it also extends branches. Instead of reaching up or sideways these branches hang towards the ground. This effect makes the tree look like it is bending over.

What is the life span of a weeping willow tree?

Roughly 50-75 years depending on the size of it. my willow was over 50ft. tall-suddenly turned brown & died. It was 13 yrs. old. that must have been the result of some type of disease or bug ## Black spots are a sign of a very dangerous disease in the Weeping Willow's lifespan. Due to the fact that you grew from a diseased area on the tree or the roots were contaminated some how. I think they have a chemical that will beat the disease in your Weeping Willow. ##

Why can you not possibly bend over and touch your toes when you stand with your back and heels against a wall?

Because your Center of Gravity moves, as you bend over to touch your toes, the center of Gravity of a human being, is usually located at the belly button, when you bend over, you're center of Gravity pulls away from you, thus making you fall over, and loose balance, therefore it is impossible to touch your toes, with your heels against a wall.

What causes my second big toe to bend inward?

Most often, this is a condition known as "hammer toe". It is usually not painful and is surprisingly common. The reason it bends inward is the shortening of the ligament that bends the toe. There are surgical treatments for the condition, so check with your physician if it bothers you. Another fairly common way to treat it is to wear an adhesive bandage across the bend. It will, over time, allow the ligament to stretch. If the condition does not bother you, this is a safe treatment. Be sure to change the bandage daily for cleanliness.
