Being a willow and sitting in a pot are two conditions that would send that plant on a downward spiral. Place the plant in a bucket of water to give it a good soaking in the shade, it would not tolerate sun from the west, so find it a spot protected from the afternoon sun. When you plant dig a deep hole fill it with water, see that the roots are not congested and water it everyday, not the best time to plant.Hope that helps.

We bought a bush about 3 weeks ago, it is still in the pot but overnight most of the leaves have turned brown. It has sat on a bed (waiting to be planted) in the centre of the lawn in full sun since we got it but we had strong winds for a couple of days and heavy rain yesterday. Any suggestions? i've added a couple of pics. Location is Kent.

Same as for the sambucus, they respond well to being given a good pruning.

I have just had to replant a standard salix integra and unfortunately the leaves have started to go brown and it looks like it is dying. Any advice welcome please!

Cut of all the dead looking ones to where you find green, then go ahead and fertilize with an all purpose fertilizer and use some compost too and keep watering it through summer and see if it pulls through.

I cut it to a main frame work, that is remove all the small branches, keep only the pencil thick ones. Since you have not done any pruning in years, I would do it in increments over a period of years.

Is that two feet from the main trunk?? or cut two feet from outside in, I actually have never trimmed it back apart from the summer when it blooms.

Being a willow, it loves water, is it in too much sun and not getting enough water? In Feb. I'd cut it down to 2 feet, feed it and see what it does, I cut mine back to 18 inches every alternate year, it does not get the west sun and south west sun either.

Do you have it in full sun? most variegated plants like some protection from the noon sun, just watering it will encourage it to put out new growth. If it is in full sun consider giving it more water, till you move it to a better location in Fall.

I have my Salix Integra 'Hakuro Nishiki' planted for about a month now but some of the leaves near the tips are going brown and alot fallen off. I thought the tips would be pink in spring/summer but they are still more white. Can I trim down to new buds I can see now in July to encourage new growth or leave it for now?

depends on your weather and sun/shade exposure, a good deep watering if you have clay soils once a week or 2 watering' s with well drained soils.

How often should I water the Salix - it is a young one if that makes any difference?

Hakuro nishiki is grown for its foliage and bark, so it makes sense to prune it in Feb-March to encourage new stems. I prune mine down to 20 inches every 2nd year, so don't worry, you will have just missed the coloured stems for this winter, but it will be back.

We have just moved to this new property in February and I am wondering if I have harmed this plant by pruning it now. I have read in one my garden books to do this over winter but now I find out that this should have been done in spring/summer. Which is correct please and will it recover?

Hi, Barbardn,
Though the best time prune is right after flowering, you can remove dead bits now. How often is is getting water/rain?

I have recently planted a salix integra standard (grafted). The tips have gone brown and some are bare. Is it OK to trim the branches back to tidy it up and hopefully encourage some new growth?

Hi, Paul,
Though a dwarf cultivar, Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki' will reach a mature height of 2m so choose a deep container. It's best in full sun.

We've just bought the Salix Integra for a large pot. Is that ok and what type of compost and position should we consider?
