Gardener Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I'd like to get one of those, I haven't seen one before with that amount of pink to its leaves. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitway Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Mrs P bought one a couple of years ago put it in the ground but whilst it is still alive it refuses to put on any serious growth, the ones in other gardens around here seem to be trimming them to keep them under control!! anyone any suggestions? a good feed maybe?? but which NPK?Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo was taken at a nearby 'pond' about 2 metres from the water and the plant had been cut down - old growth of diameter in excess of 10cm is beneath the new shoots.

Russethouse Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Careful about cutting down, lots of these are grafted onto a stronger willow rootstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
