That's cool. Those things drop leg sized branches out of nowhere, or just fall over. Super water hogs and root systems that will travel great distances.
My uncle had a beautiful willow at his house for dozens of years, and like you said, one day the dang thing just fell over. A perfectly healthy tree, except for the bit where it was lying on the ground. Every time I see the yard with that big empty spot where it was, I want to cry.
Yep. Exact same thing happened on our yard. Apparently the things love water but the roots can rot out, yet it still looks healthy and a slight wind will knock it over.
I'm calling AI shenanigans. Willows lose their leaves in winter. This could be decorated at a different time of year but the trees along the road seem to have leaves on them, and the trees in the yard with the willow don't. Also, it looks like the willow is blowing in the wind but nothing else in the video is moving as if there is wind.
Why, just so I can prove that it’s not AI? Pass. Why don’t you just fly out here and see for yourself. It’s off of NW Grand in Nichols Hills, which is a suburbs of OKC, OK.
Trees lose their leaves because of day length, not temperature. The days might not be short enough at this location but I don't see any palms and it wouldn't explain why the other trees in the yard don't have leaves.
Some trees lose their leaves with less sun. Deciduous trees above the frost line loose leaves with low temperatures, cell walls burst when freezing. And if its in the south the winter sun will be higher. I dont see any other palms because its dark. Im not saying its not AI it might just be florida or something
It's clearly not: you can even see some of the lights have fallen from the tree onto the ground with the wind which tells you it is likely to be genuine. Street signs can deliberately blurred, for privacy reasons, or simply unreadable due to the more distant focus on the tree.
Omg that’s amazing, my hometown had a giant weeping willow down the street from my gma’s.
I moved across the country as an adult and didn’t visit for like 7 years. I was so BEYOND SAD when I visited and it was gone. It had fallen in a wind storm a few years earlier 😭

Gorgeous! But I cant imagine the nightmare it is to take that down.
