Fortunately nothing around it, but it does lean quite heavily into the garden and I have young children so I don't think I'll be taking the risk. Thank you everyone for your replies! Very helpful.

Hi all, I'd be very grateful for some advice. I have a weeping willow in the bottom of the garden. It's approximately 9m in height and is fairly crowded by other trees/vegetation. Last year I noticed some peeling of the bark which started near the base and this year has considerably progressed up the tree (approximately 3m). The wood beneath the bark feels soft and the leaves on the tree do not look happy at all. I moved here only 2 years ago and have no idea how old the tree is. What could be going on? Thank you.
