Hi Karen,
I purchased this plant last summer after reading about it on a forum.
Granted, my experience is limited, but I really love it!! I only found
it at one nursery last season, but it is popping up all over this year.
I've also seen it in standard (tree) form. It goes under the name
"Dappled Willow".
Right now, and for the past few weeks, it is beautiful. All the new
growth is white with green and pink specks...really stands out.
It, along with the other shrub willows, is fast growing. It could be
cut to the ground every spring and still form a nice shrub. This will
also ensure you will get lots of new, colorful growth.
Not sure what problems, if any, it has...hopefully someone will know!
