We have quite a few neighbours who put that willow in. It certainly is striking.

Yah it is hard to step around plants when you are trying to remove and then plant such large items. I feel for you in regard to that. Glad to hear you have help!! :-)

they are nice,............might be why we have a few and this year I pruned a dozen branches off, pinned them in the pond that that the ends dont see sunlight….......and three now have roots.

I’d seen a small one of those in shrub form at Lowes on the “OMG, I’m almost dead!” rack outside for $3.. Almost got it but wasn’t sure if I could use it anywhere.

Going back later today to see what else may be out there. Got two fruit trees for $8/ea, a large chokeberry bush for $5 and several smaller plants (catnip, coneflower, salvia, etc) for $1/ea.

I love the dead rack. Good stuff, so long as you dig around the worthless annuals.

I bought a little Hakuro Nishiki Willow standard on a whim. It was only $10 and I had no idea where I was going to plant it. It was just too pretty to resist. Are you planning on letting yours get big or are you going to prune it to keep it’s “star” shape?

Karla..I plan on letting it grow big.It’s already nearly 6’ high.It doesn’t have a star shape though.
Scott…..nice bargains.Garden shopping this time of year is so much fun.
