I have just become familiar with this lovely Salix recently. We sell this plant at Weston Nurseries in Hopkinton, MA. Many of the landscapes I design require naturalized plant material, for which this Salix is a prime candidate. Our nursery stock was in full bloom last Sunday, and I watched the reaction from customers to this plant. It generated much interest and hopefully, many sales.

This is a good choice for your nursery. We enjoy watching the branches gently wave in the breeze. Good luck. Pat

I have this shrub in my garden, it is about 4 years old. I think it is dying I have lost over half of it but I keep seeing some new growth. Do you have any idea what could cause this I can't see any disease but it started on one half and is continuing now to the other side. I don't want to lose this plant it compliments the front of my house .

Root some cuttings in water and some in soil with rooting hormone applied to ensure you have plant(s) to carry on if the original succumbs to whatever is wrong with it. Reminder, this plant likes plenty of water. Can you post a picture? Consult your county extension agent and local garden specialist for a possible cause. Wishing you lots of luck reviving the original.

I have a couple of these in my yard and love them! You can cut and cut on them to shape and they never miss a beat. I also try to root some each year. They take longer to root than other willows, and I find they do better rooting in soil than in water. I haven't used the rotting hormone. Even so, it takes a good six weeks for some root to establish.
