Plant of the Day

Sunday 16 March 2014


These weeping willows, Salix x sepulcralis ‘Chrysocoma’, are on my journey home and yesterday the new growth was catching the evening light. They are pruned hard every few years to keep them safe and a suitable size for the garden - the result is they look like cheer leader pom-poms in the wind! These willows are large trees they are often planted by water but they can cope with drier conditions.
