Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki'

Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki' is grown in our willow beds at Lakeshore Willows for basketry and smaller living willow work.

Description

• This willow is known by many as the "dappled" or "flamingo" willow sold in nurseries for gardens
• The leaves are variegated, green, white and pink during the first part of the summer
• The rods are also somewhat variegated and dries up mainly a deep burgundy/brown
• Usually not grown for basketry, but the finer rods are very good for weaving and have an exceptional colour
• Very great for hedges

Growth Habit

Small shrub 1.5 m (5')

Application

Hedges, and smaller living willow projects and the smaller rods work well for basketry
