Soil Type
Water: The white willow 'Yelverton' requires frequent watering, especially seedlings during summer, while mature plants show drought tolerance. Typically, watering is done daily at 5 PM, depending on soil moisture. Excess water is not usually drained as mature roots tolerate it well, but watering is necessary in dry conditions.
Fertilize: During the early growth stage of white willow 'Yelverton', apply a light nitrogen fertilizer 4-5 times. Mature white willow 'Yelverton' requires minimal fertilizer but can benefit from potassic options like calcium phosphate. Healthy green leaves indicate fertile soil, and fertilization may be unnecessary if nearby lawns are regularly treated.
Pruning: Boasting striking yellow twigs, white willow 'Yelverton' requires annual pruning in early spring to encourage vibrant new growth. Focus on removing older stems, weak and crossing branches to enhance health and aesthetics, prevent disease, and maintain an open structure for optimal development.
Propagation: Seedlings can be transplanted in early spring after soil thaws. Ensure good water and appropriate fertilizer for purchased seedlings; avoid over-fertilizing. Cuttings should be taken from healthy plants before budding. Ensure moisture and proper weeding as the cuttings grow to enhance survival rates.
