Instructions
Top Tip
Prune Salix annually during late winter or early spring to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to improve airflow and light penetration. For weeping varieties, trim to maintain a tidy canopy, avoiding overly severe cuts. These trees also pair beautifully with water features or as focal points in large gardens, providing a striking architectural element year-round.
How to Water
Water Salix deeply and frequently after planting to establish a strong root system, especially during the first growing season. These trees are water-loving and benefit from consistently moist soil, though they are tolerant of occasional drought once mature. In hot or dry weather, increase watering to prevent stress. Always ensure the soil is moist but not waterlogged, as standing water can lead to root rot. Water early in the morning or late in the evening to maximise absorption.
How to Plant
To plant Salix, select a sunny or partially shaded location with moist, well-draining soil, ideally loamy or clay-based. These trees thrive in areas with access to water, such as near ponds or streams, but can adapt to less saturated conditions if watered regularly. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and the same depth, then gently position the plant. Backfill with soil, firm it down to eliminate air pockets, and water thoroughly. Adding mulch around the base will help retain moisture and prevent weed growth, but keep it clear of the trunk.
