Salix caprea 'Kilmarnock'


Common name: Kilmarnock willow

Conditions: full sun to part shade; moderately drought tolerant; tolerates poor soil; pruning stimulates fresh pendulous growth

There are many pleasing ways to grow pendulous willows. This quick-growing shrub can easily be trained to cascade over a retaining wall. Another option is to graft Pendula onto straight stock - S. smithiana is supposed to the best for grafting - so that the branches weep to the ground. Highly ornamental.

Sizes available: bundle of 10 cuttings, plugs
