These are very hard to get rid of and they definitely take over. However, there are benefits to them! Fast & easy growers, great shade, fun shape, and if you cut them back each year, you can usually make some money by selling the stems to your local florist! However, if you still want to get rid of it... You need to dig the stump out. Then either burn the stump or take it to a composting place. Good luck!
What had happened was, back in the 1860s there were a family of talking Weeping Willows. They've had their own community and stuff. A few years possibly hundreds of years later Man found the Weeping Willow community and chopped them all down. After that the last Weeping Willow threw its branches down and has been depressed ever since. We mostly reproduce them from the primary Weeping Willow. So we're taking one sad Weeping Willow and cloaning it. So, that same Weeping Willow will never die and live sad and depressed for eternity. Poor Mr. Weeping Willow. :(
Well... you could either get a strange looking alien with ears that weep down to his ankles, or a weeping willow tree with an alien face made out of its branches.

Chop it down or let it get harmful diseases. You monster.

Weeping trees are named for their drooping branches, which give them a "weeping" appearance. This characteristic is due to the branches' growth pattern and can make these trees look like they are shedding tears.
Willows, also called sallows, and osiers, are found primarily on moist soils along river banks and streams. The Weeping Willow or Weeping Tree (Salix babylonica) is often grown in gardens, usually as a centre piece on a lawn. It gets the common name of Weeping Willow, from the way rain drips off hanging down branches.
Willow trees can be identified by their long, slender leaves with a pointed tip and a serrated edge. They also have a distinctive drooping or weeping appearance, with branches that hang down towards the ground. Additionally, willow trees often have a grayish-brown bark that is rough and furrowed.

a Willow is a whole category of plants in the genus salix, with about 400 different species. The Weeping Willow is a hybrid between the Peking Willow (salix babylonica) and the White Willow (salix Alba). It is a large deciduous tree with thin branches that hang down, sweeping the ground and swaying loosely in the breeze. They can be found under several species names: salix Alba, salix babylonica, salix x sepulcralis, salix x pendulina.

But not all Willow plants are trees. Some are more shrubby than tree-like. One very cool Willow tree is the Curly Willow (salix matsudana).
