Soil Type
Water: The apple-leaved willow 'Wehrhahnii' requires regular watering, especially seedlings and new plants, which need daily moisture in summer. Mature plants are more drought-resistant and can tolerate water-logging. Daily watering is ideal around 5 pm during dry spells; however, adjust based on rain and soil moisture levels.
Fertilize: In the early growth stage of apple-leaved willow 'Wehrhahnii', apply light nitrogen fertilizer 4-5 times. Mature apple-leaved willow 'Wehrhahnii' requires minimal fertilization, though occasional potassic fertilizers like calcium phosphate may be beneficial. Healthy growth occurs in fertile soil, and fertilization is unnecessary if surrounding lawns are regularly fed.
Pruning: Apple-leaved willow 'Wehrhahnii' requires early spring pruning to remove dead branches and improve growth. Thinning overcrowded branches boosts air circulation and light exposure. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and enhances flowering, supporting overall health. Techniques are verified through sources like the Royal Horticultural Society.
Propagation: Seedlings can be sourced or grown by cuttings. Transplant early spring post-thaw, ensuring sufficient water and minimal fertilizer. Select vigorous stock plants for cuttings, cut 15-17 cm branches, soak, and plant deeply. Manage soil moisture and remove lower buds after budding while weeding to minimize competition.
