Planting Instructions for Tri-Color Dappled Willow Tree (Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki')

  1. Site Selection and Soil Preparation:
  2. Planting:

Care Instructions

  1. Watering: Tri-Color Dappled Willow prefers moist soil, especially during the first year of establishment. Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on weather conditions, and ensure the soil stays consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once established, the tree can tolerate occasional dry periods but thrives in areas with consistent moisture.
  2. Fertilizing: Feed the tree with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer (such as 10-10-10) in early spring to promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage. If your soil is rich in nutrients, you may not need to fertilize every year. Applying compost or organic matter around the base of the tree in spring will also provide steady nutrition.
  3. Monitoring: Keep an eye on the tree for signs of water stress, such as wilting or yellowing leaves. This willow is generally hardy but may occasionally suffer from pests such as aphids or fungal issues if overwatered.

Maintenance and Long-Term Care

  1. Pruning: Pruning is essential to maintain the Tri-Color Dappled Willow's compact, rounded shape and encourage new growth, which displays the plant's signature pink, white, and green variegation.
  2. Pest and Disease Control: While generally hardy, Tri-Color Dappled Willow can occasionally attract aphids, scale, or spider mites. If pests appear, treat them with neem oil or insecticidal soap. Also, ensure proper airflow around the plant to prevent fungal diseases, like powdery mildew, which can occur in humid conditions. Avoid overhead watering to reduce fungal risks.
  3. Winter Care: The Tri-Color Dappled Willow is hardy in USDA zones 4-9 and generally doesn’t require special winter care in these zones. However, in colder regions, applying a layer of mulch around the base in late fall can help protect the roots from freezing temperatures. The tree will go dormant in winter, losing its leaves, but new growth will emerge in spring.

Seasonal Features and Foliage

  • Spring to Summer Foliage: The new leaves emerge with a soft pink hue, which transitions to a variegated mix of white and green. This unique color pattern makes the tree a standout in gardens and landscapes.
  • Fall Interest: The foliage turns yellow in the fall before dropping for winter dormancy, though the colorful twigs can provide some winter interest.
  • Catkins: This tree produces small catkins in spring, which add subtle texture, though it is primarily grown for its striking foliage.

Striking variegated foliage: Leaves display a stunning blend of pink, white, and green throughout the growing season.

Fast-growing: Rapidly reaches full size, providing privacy or a decorative accent in just a few seasons.

Low maintenance: Thrives in moist soil and requires minimal care once established.
