Growing at a glance…
You can add some support to the younger plants by staking them as they continue to develop a full head. Little pruning is required, but if you need to trim and control damaged branches then this can be done in late winter through to early spring.The Salix (Willow) can tolerate most types of soil, as long as it is well drained. Because of the size of this larger variety, they excel when grown as a feature tree where there is lots of room for the tree to expand and grow.On planting add some organic matter to help enrich the soil around the roots. This hardy variety can withstand temperatures as low as -10 degrees, they will benefit from adding a winter mulch.
