Upon receiving the Braided Willow we recommend watering it. As soon as you’ve planted the tree, water it again. Willows love water, so make sure the soil stays moist for the first season after planting. For more information on supporting the best version of this Willow, please keep reading.
Care Instructions
The Braided Willow is easy to plant and care for, but it is happiest in a moist, water-retentive spot. Keep well watered, especially in hot, dry weather. For best results, and to keep soil moist the longest: water in the early morning, or evening. This tree prefers full sun to part shade.
Whether you choose to plant them in a large container, or in your garden, mulching around the base of the tree will provide extra support in warm or cold weather. Although the Braided Willow is very hardy and can withstand severe frost, we suggest you plant the tree in a flower bed for the winter months. Be sure to plant them 6” deep.
Pro Care Tips
This versatile plant can be potted and added to patios, or directly into the garden creating a spectacular focal point.
To maintain it’s decorative, manicured look, cut back the top growth in early Spring, before lightly shaping 2-3 more times during the Summer as needed. Remove any shoots that scarcely pop out on the lower stems. Removing the suckers or shoots not only creates a more pristine and well-kept look, it allows the Willow to focus all of its nutrients into the tree’s growth.
If you notice the lower leaves turning yellow, it’s typically a symptom of a lack of Nitrogen. We recommend heavy feeding it, like a hanging basket or annual planter.

FAQs
Plants can outgrow their pots very quickly, which can lead to root-bound issues. It’s recommended to repot within the first few months.
When choosing a patio container make sure its bigger than the current pot. It’s important to make sure the new pot has drainage holes. Mulch to cover the new soil after repotting.
To overwinter container plants, you can bring them indoors, move them to a sheltered location, or bury the pot. You can also use frost-proof containers, insulate the pots, and water sparingly.
Not ideal, but yes – if the pot and branches are heavily wrapped and insulated.
