Bobbi,
Once again I find that you and I are usually attracted to the same plants. I
found this willow last year and had to order it from Forest Farm. The name
is Salix integra Hakuro Nishiki (if it is the one I think you're describing).
Another really interesting one I purchased last year is Salix babylonica
crispa, or the ram's horn willow. Have you seen that one? Each leaf shaped
like a little ram's horn? I love it, although it's not a really tidy grower.
I'm hoping the form will improve as it ages. I wonder how these will be as
far as being prone to getting borers? We have a problem with willows around
here, they don't usually live long because of them.
