I received my seedling of a Weeping Willow tree while it was still cold here near New Orleans so I planted it in a large pot. We've been having so much rain, I haven't been able to put it in the ground yet. I've noticed that a few of the leaves have turned yellow with small brown spots on them and some of the green leaves have those spots as well. Do you have any idea what could be causing this or could it be that it needs to be taken out of the pot and put in the ground? Help!

Hi, I am from Houston, Texas - we also have weeping willows.
In the beginning - I did the same - I put my weeping willow ina pot -
the brown spots that you have received are common due to heavy rain - brown spot!
Go to your local nersery - or Home Depot - Lowes - and go to the area where they have the pesticides - they also have remidies there for plants that have contracted Black or Brown Spot - Get a liquid Fungicide - read directions and dilute as the directions say -
If you can MOVE the pot to an area where it is covered for two to 5 days - this will help let the fungicide work and not get any more water!
It will drop the leaves that have been infected - and you can also spray the fungicide on the leaves
