Ok to plant in this location?
I would like to plant my weeping pussy willow near the stream I'm building, but I don't want the root system to eventually disturb it or the rocks I have placed. Can anyone tell me if it is ok to plant here?

Willow trees have some of THE most aggressively water seeking roots.
https://homeguides.sfgate.com/can-plant- ... 99768.htmlWillow roots spread out at least as far as the tree is tall, and can cause extensive damage to irrigation lines, sewage pipes, septic systems and swimming pools. The roots aggressively seek out water, and will break pipes and crack pool walls to make their way to moisture.
