Dappled willow will like a spot in your yard where water naturally runs after a rain, including rain gardens. Allow your dappled willow plenty of elbow room. It will grow to 15-20 feet high and just as wide if you donât keep it pruned. It grows best in fairly moist soil that has been amended with compost.
With burgundy twigs, too, the shrub is an asset all Winter long. But dappled willow doesn't grow those burgundy twigs without your help. They're grown because you've cut all the old twigs down to stubs each Spring. This dappled willow wasn't pruned, and look at how boring its twigs are. Only first-year twigs are colorful; by their second Winter the bark is the same light gray of older growth. Nothing worth looking at in the picture below; this free-range dappled willow brings no interest to the garden in Winter, either. My dappled willows are grafted atop trunks, probably of goat willow, Salix caprea.
