Species Study - Salix Integra.

These Specific Species Study Threads will serve for the documentation and discussion of growing young plants, upwards, together, towards a common “TinyTree” presentation goal.

Nishiki Willows!

My father LOVES these trees, and has a bunch of variegated bushes.

I waited until I noticed a seeming "revert chute" and took a cutting.(in July)

Looking forward to see what happens.

This will also be testing the parameters of my cold-frame. Although.. this year is a much sleeker, more efficient design.

If it DOES perish.. I will drive to Crivitz to get more cuttings in Spring. (Although the next will be FOR SURE variegated... I waited thee years for this "revert chute" )

Willows do grow fast, that can be good, or a curse if you're no paying attention.

What’s nice is they take kindly to root prunning, otherwise they’d be impossible to contain.
