I know a couple of things that weeping willows are used for, or any other willow for that matter! 1. The twigs are very flexible. They are great for making baskets. 2. You can make an organic root stimulator by making a tea from the twigs. 3. That tea also makes a pretty good purple dye. 4. Some Native Americans use the limbs as structural members of their sweat lodges. 5. They can make decent landscape trees. They grow fast. But don't plant any where near water lines! Plant them atleast 30' away from the house or side walks. They have shallow roots, thus they will disturb the foundation.
