Growing Information

Salix babylonica requires full sun to develop its characteristic weeping form. It grows best in moist soil, so regular watering is essential to maintain soil moisture. This cutting ships unrooted and does not include pot or soil, making it suitable for propagation by experienced gardeners. Mature trees can reach heights of 30 to 50 feet if left unpruned, but bonsai cultivation allows for controlled growth and shaping.
