Can a weeping willow tree be beneficial to a yard that retains water?

Asked by ANef_is_Enuf (26839points) May 6th, 2011

I’m asking a question for a friend and he wants to know if a weeping willow tree will help to reduce the swampy effect in his mom’s yard. The yard does not flood, it just retains water and gets muddy. Will planting a young willow tree help with the issue, and would a young tree survive in a damp yard?
