LACE WEEPING WILLOW

$33.95

Even though willows are not a food producing tree, they do serve a special purpose, as they are one of very few trees that actually thrive in damp, poorly drained soil. In fact, in some cases, when planted in a water logged site, they have sucked up enough moisture through their massive root system that the surrounding area became drier and more hospitable to other plants! Be sure to plant them well away from septic systems or any other underground drainage tile.

(Salix babylonica 'Lace')
This hardy version of the classic weeping form of willow originated in Mongolia. Lace is reported to be at least as cold hardy as Prairie Cascade and also has more graceful features. Although it looks best with the long, pendulous branches drooping down over the edge of a pond or stream, any moist location with enough space will fit the bill. Willows are well known as one of the fastest growing trees. Lace weeping can reach 12m (40') in height, with a spread of 9m (30').

What is Orchard Grade?

An 'orchard grade' is a tree that may be somewhat shorter, slightly crooked, or a bit scratched, or for some other reason is not a perfect front lawn specimen. These trees will work just as well in an orchard as a first or number one would, since they still produce the very same fruit.

What is a 2 year old tree?

A '2 year old tree' is one that has grown an extra season in our nursery field.

All our trees are planted in the field in the spring as rootstock. They are grafted in August of the 1st year. Most of our trees are dug out in November of the 2nd year. Some trees are in the ground for another season. We dig these in November of the 3rd year. These are considered to be '2 year old trees'.

A '2 year old tree' has bigger roots, a thicker trunk, and more branching (They might start fruiting a year earlier).
