Leave 'Pendula' to grow as an attractive arching shrub or
train it as a small weeping willow by removing the lower buds.
Or it can be grafted onto rootstock that is 2-2.5 m (6-8')
tall. This results in a miniature weeping willow for very
small gardens.
According to Christopher Newsholme in the book Willow:
The Genus Salix, Salix purpurea is bitter and unpalatable
to livestock and rabbits.
Ornamental.
