Probably 8 to 12 years, depending on the growing conditions. Willows are fast growers if they get plenty of moisture, and they're beautiful. Unfortunately, they're also messy and short-lived. There may be another 20-30 years in it.

When I was much younger...We had a very large weeping willow in the front yard. It was "huge"!! I used to climb all the way to the top and no one could see me. It was my secret hiding place. Anyway.....It has to me very old. They don't really grow exceptionally fast. I'd "guess" at least 20-30 years old.

use an increment bore it takes a small plug out of the tree and will not hurt the tree then just count the rings the plug is smaller than a pencil if it is hard to count the rings wet your finger rub on the plug it will make the plug a little darker

You can cut a pie slice out of it, to the middle of the tree like this: > and count the rings. You don't have to cut the entire tree down. Make sure to seal it back up with a sealant so pests can't kill it!
