The post purpurea x koriyanagi first appeared on Vermont Willow Nursery.

]]> This is a female selection and is a vigorous grower with clean foliage rarely bothered by pests and diseases. It produces very few side branches and even at 10ft the stems are slender.

This is an inspired cross as these willows are two of the finest species we grow and the cross is even finer in some ways. For one thing it has inherited the pest resistance and lack of early leaf drop from Salix koriyanagi and is deer resistant.

The post miyabeana ‘Sx67’ first appeared on Vermont Willow Nursery.

]]>

Miyabeana originates from Hokkaido, Japan, and was offered to the Ministry of Natural Resources in Ontario for biomass experiments (Checklist for Cultivars of Salix L.). It eventually found it’s way to the wonderful folks over at Cornell University, who have done extensive studies on it. The fact sheet for Sx61 is currently unavailable, but can be found here: https://willow.cals.cornell.edu/extension/#factsheets

Our miyabeana cultivars are extremely vigorous! In 2020, our friend Aresh Javadi and his understudy Minerva came and coppiced our entire patch of miyabeana. Between Spring and Fall, they all grew rods over six feet long. No, that is NOT a typo! Miyabeana is a proven winner and would work well as a privacy screen, wind/snowbreak, creating living and dried structures, early pollinator assistance…you get the idea. All of this vigor and it tops out at relatively small size. This willow keeps a nice, lively green-yellow throughout the year and taper to red at the tips.

Sx67 is almost entirely identical to Sx61 and 64, the differences being quite literally microscopic.

*anecdotally, we have sent miyabeana and it’s variations all over the country, and have not had reports of issues planting in hardiness zones above 6

The post purpurea USDA select first appeared on Vermont Willow Nursery.

]]> We don’t know a whole lot about this one except that it’s sure to be a winner. It’s a little bit more vigorous than other purpurea with rods equal in diameter to the thicker purpurea like ‘Lambertiana’. Photos and more details will come as we become more familiar with this.

A panoply of color that is sure to bring joy to all who encounter it. This selection represents the range of the color scale.

This collection is designed to be a rainbow hedge that will be 30 feet in length if planted in 2 rows with 18 inch spacing.

 

substitutions will be made in the event of crop failure - were this to occur we will also ensure it is not of anything else you may have also purchased.

The post Willow Rainbow Collection first appeared on Vermont Willow Nursery.

]]> The collection has 7 varieties of willow. Each variety comes in a bundle of 5 dormant cuttings. The cuttings are 10 inches in length. The cuttings are designed to plant 8 inches into the ground with 2 inches above ground. When weather conditions are ideal, the dormant cutting will begin to root and grow shoots, eventually growing into a shrub when coppiced. Coppice every one to two years to maintain bright stem color and shrub height (4-6 ft).

The post purpurea ‘Multinervis’ first appeared on Vermont Willow Nursery.

]]> This is a very vigorous-growing male purpurea variety that we received under this name early in our history. After coppicing, it produces long straight rods 8-12 feet tall. In botanical literature, Salix multinervis is listed as a synonym for S. integra. Ours is definitely a purpurea variety so we really don’t know what selection this really is! Whatever it is, it’s a great variety and more robust than most purpureas.

The post tenuijulis first appeared on Vermont Willow Nursery.

]]> tenuijulis was given to the nursery by the esteemed Professor Larry Smart at Cornell whom received it from Korean biofuel developers. This willow is native to central Asia.

As the name suggests, its catkins are slender, about 1/4 inch in diameter and 1 inch long. It tops out at around 13 feet in its native habitat but is growing a bit taller in our area. It grows a plethora of long, straight rods that would be suitable for a variety of applications.
