Step 4. Prune the dappled willow in early winter or early spring when it lies dormant. Cut out any dead, diseased, infested or broken branches with pruning shears. For a short, dense plant, prune all branches down to 12 inches tall every few years.
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.
