| Author's Notes | I have been growing this Willow in my yard for 4 years. It is "Romaine Lettuce" for the rabbits so it never has reached over a couple of feet. A very popular plant. I have seen it grown as a medium to large shrub (controlled with hard pruning), very large multi-stemmed shrubs and bottom branches removed forming mulit-stmemed small trees. This can also be purchased as a standard (trained to a single stem) |
