How long will a willow tree live for?
As with people, it depends. They are, according to all the experts, short-lived outside their native China. They grow fast and reach maturity at about 10-12 years. If they haven't been pruned (preferably yearly), they will start to suffer from problems with their bark and branches, so that they will need to be cut back severely .. or down! They are also prone to attack by pests (presumably chiefly in their early years) by pests and fungal types and are moderately intolerant of drought. Look for problems in winters after 10+ years when heavy horizontal branches are prone to split at the crotch where they meet the trunk.

What do maple tree seeds look like?
The maple tree's seed is just that, a seed. However the FRUIT of a Maple tree is what is known as a double samara, commonly called the "Helicopter Leaf". Each of the seeds is enclosed in a fibrous container which extends into an angled wing - this structure is what is botanically described as a samara. In maples two of these structures are joined at the base to make up the entire fruit. The weight of the seed holding the wing vertically in the air makes the fruit spiral and move sideways as it falls to the ground, thus dispersing seeds further from the parent tree and helping the maples to spread.
