    Hello, I think these are a type of willow but I can't find anything that looks like them online.

    Can someone help?

    Willows, probably Salix purpurea.

    The are over 6 feet tall. Can they get that tall?

    The type can grow more than double that height, however the size of these does not even make me think they could not be the commonly grown 'Nana'.

    Thank you so much! I have been looking around for 2 years. I tried other garden forums and received nothing! I now need to go and get some fungicide and try and stop them from loosing all their branches :)

    Agree they're willows, but they don't look right for Salix purpurea.

    Yes, the common one of this general appearance is S. purpurea 'Nana' - but I'm not sure even that form usually produces such leafy shoots. There are probably many photos on the web to compare with.
