The willow planted in February during the few sunny days has since been under rain, lots of rain with stagnant water, gusts, and some thin hail, yet it still offers me its lovely buds. Apparently, it enjoys "rocky" soil. Thanks again for your valuable advice ;)

Description
Salix integra 'Pendula' is a dwarf willow often grafted onto a stem that develops a weeping habit. Its long, flexible branches covered with fine green leaves create a small, extremely decorative cascade of foliage. This small tree is interesting in autumn, adorned with yellow leaves, and in winter, its bare branches, which turn more reddish, are not without appeal. This perfectly hardy, small deciduous willow can be easily grown in the ground or in a container on the terrace. Its only requirement is fertile soil that remains moist.
Salix integra, belonging to the Salicaceae family, is native to the Far East. It is found in the wild in Russia, northern China, Korea, and Japan. It is a very cold-resistant bush, preferring damp to moist locations, and is commonly found in natural wet meadows, valleys, and along waterways. It is perfectly suited to humid temperate climates, even cold ones.
Salix integra 'Pendula' is also known as the weeping pommel willow or weeping shrimp willow. It is grafted onto a stem of variable height. Ultimately, this small tree will reach between 1.25 m and 1.75 m in height. The width of its crown depends on maintenance pruning, generally reaching 1 to 1.5 m in diameter. The branches of this willow spread at the top of the trunk and then cascade down to the ground. Bright green in spring, they take on a reddish-brown hue in winter. In spring, they bear discreet flowers before the leaves, which are grouped in slender spikes. The leaves are soft, narrowly elliptical to oblong, measuring 3 to 6 cm long. Their colour is light green on the upper side, with a whitish underside. They turn yellow in autumn before falling.
Unobtrusive and infinitely graceful, Salix integra 'Pendula' is perfect for decorating contemporary terraces and small gardens. It can be planted as a solitary specimen in the centre of a small dedicated flower bed. To surround it, one might plant Japanese grass 'Naomi' or Ophiopogons for example. The variegated ground ivy will also form an elegant and luminous ground cover around its silhouette. This dwarf weeping willow, like all willows, is irreplaceable near water features and in damp soils.

Planting and care
Plant the Weeping Willow Salix integra 'Pendula' in full sun or partial shade. It is not very demanding regarding pH and the nature of the soil, which can be slightly acidic, neutral, or slightly calcareous. However, it cannot tolerate any drought. On the other hand, it copes very well with consistently moist and even waterlogged soils. The ideal planting mix is half potting compost and half garden soil. It is very hardy, down to -23°C. To achieve a dense and harmonious crown, we recommend pruning all the branches before the vegetation resumes (March), leaving 2 to 4 buds. In summer, a number of strong and healthy shoots will develop. Thanks to this severe pruning, you will limit the width of the crown.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
