Violet Willow (Salix Daphnoides) Pack of 12 Cell Grown 20-40cm

Product Code:  SADA12

From Only: £18.39 Ex VAT
Or £1.53 Per plant


Our RHS Violet Willow (Salix daphnoides) cell grown plants are extracted from their cells prior to despatch and are wrapped in protective packaging to ensure the root plug stays moist. The plants come with their root systems intact, whereas bare root plants can lose the fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that cell grown plants can become more quickly established than bare root. Another advantage of cell grown Violet Willow is that it can be planted into warm soils when roots are active, outside the dormant period. As long as the roots are kept moist, cell grown plants can be planted throughout the year.

Complete Product Information for Violet Willow (Salix Daphnoides) Pack of 12 Cell Grown 20-40cm
This RHS Premium Cell Grown Violet Willow (Salix Daphnoides) a large shrub or small tree which grows to between 6 and 8m, and occasionally to 12m. It has a rounded crown with erect or spreading branches. The bark is smooth and grey and its twigs, when young, are generally pruinose with a dense glaucous bloom becoming glabrous, lustrous and dark reddish-brown, when older.

The leaves of Violet willow are oblong or narrowly obovate, 7-12 cm long and 2-3 cm wide. At first they are thinly woolly but soon become glabrous, dark green and lustrous above and glaucous below. Catkins appear before the leaves in February and March and are short, cylindrical and dense about 2-4 cm long and 0.8-1.8 cm wide. Female catkins are shorter and less decorative than the males.

The plants come with their root systems intact, whereas bare root plants can lose the tiny fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that they will become more established quicker than bare root. They can also be planted into warm soils when roots are active, outside the dormant period. Whereas the bare root season ends between April to September, September, October, March April and May are ideal months for planting cell grown plants. In fact, unlike bare root, you can plant cell grown plants throughout the year as long as the roots are kept moist. That is why 60% of the world`s forestry trees are now cell grown!
