The Nishiki Willow Tree Form - Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki' - is spectacular in every seasons. Our Willow Nishiki Tree is professionally trimmed and staked in the field as it grows that by the time it is dug and harvested, this beautiful Nishiki Willow is ready to plant. This picture shows one of these fast growing trees at three years old. A most unusual flowering tree.
The 4 season color show of the Nishiki Willow begins in spring with yellow catkins in April - followed by new foliage appearing green and creamy white with pink overtones which turns to a salmon pink color by summer and once again changing to fall shades with leaves turning yellow and winter branches turning a brilliant red.
But wait - There's more!!! The Willow Nishiki is a fast growing plant. Planted as a hedge, privacy screen, windbreak, or lining a drive, you can expect this shrub to grow 12 to 15 feet tall and 12 to 15 feet in width in just three to four years.
Easy to plant, easy to grow. The Nishiki willow, if pruned can be maintained with a great shape at 6 to 10 foot. Prune in late winter to thin and for shaping. Any unruly branches can be safely clipped out during the growing season. It thrives under canopy trees both evergreen and deciduous. Its traditional use is beside streams and water features in Asian gardens where, like most willows, the Nishiki Willow is tolerant of seasonal dampness, yet once established is also somewhat drought tolerant.
The Nishiki willow can be planted as a specimen plant, however they are especially elegant lining retaining walls, flanking an entryway or used in groupings planted 6 to 8 feet apart.
