Salix integra Hakuro Nishiki browning leaves

Salix integra Hakuro Nishiki browning leaves

Question from Shoot User
2410 1
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.

    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.
