Salix koriyanagi 'Rubykins' - Korean Basket Willow
- bright red catkins in early spring
- upright, compact, and slow growing
- deciduous shrub to 6-12 feet high and 4-6 feet wide
- narrow bluish green leaves tend to grow in pairs or whorls
- this species holds its green color well into the fall, longer than most willows
- naturally grows long, very flexible rods that sway nicely in a breeze
- produces long thin rods when coppiced; branches are yellow in winter
- good for sunny areas with regularly moist well-drained soils
- a female cultivar, in case seeds are desired
- suitable for great winter bouquets, basket weaving, & living structures
- Willows are generally very easy to root from hardwood cuttings or long rods poked deep into the soil
- a tea made from willow stems can be used as a natural rooting hormone for plant propagation
- grows in zones 4-7
- rods are unrooted cuts long enough to start your living sculpture with! These are cut to order, and so quantities available may be higher than listed. Please inquire if you need more for your project, and I’ll check!
- ships bareroot, wrapped in a soil-less medium to keep the roots damp
- ships in cool spring, fall, or winter seasons; not during summer
