Stewartstown Willow (Salix daphnoides 'Stewartstown') Cutting
Grower's Notes (Our Experience):
Stewartstown Willow features deep red stems that provide a stark contrast against its green foliage in the summer. In our experience, the daphnoides varieties tend to send up one primary leader which is different than other varieties like purpurea or triandra. Similar to Blue Streak and Continental Purple, this variety produces a natural white bloom on its lower branches that protects it from water and remains visible even after the stems have been dried for a long time. In our experience, it grows slightly faster and more prolifically than Blue Streak. We manage our willow bed by using drip tape for irrigation, controlling grass competition with plastic during the initial years, and coppicing the plants annually to encourage fresh growth. It is a fast-growing variety that is easy to propagate from cuttings.
