Re: Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki'

Hi Donna,

I am on digest so don't know if you've already received replies. 

I am growing it here in NY USDA zone 4 (-20 to -30F). We put ours in last
year and it did fine through a winter in which I lost several plants.  I
have a photo of S.i. 'Hakuro Nishiki' as a standard -- quite pretty -- and
here is a yahoo URL for several references:
http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=salix+hakuro+nishiki&ei=UTF-8

My culture notes include:  full sun, -20F, semi-moist soil, medium growth
rate, ht 4', wi 6'.  Ours is growing next to a pond; we bought it for the
striking foliage.  If you can grow yours as a standard, it's quite
attractive that way; it would be impossible for us to do that with ours
without starting over at ground level -- something we're used to here in
the north country.  :-)  (I can send you a jpg of H.N. growing as a standard.)
