I'm thinking of buying a Japanese Willow and was wondering if
anybody had any advice on planting area, compost type, soil type etc?

How fast do they grow and do they need regular pruning?
I heard a rumour that sometimes their roots can cause problems due t
the size of them.
How tall do they get?

Are they (UK) winter hardy?

Do they lose their leaves in the autumn?

Thanks for any help

The best thing for you to do is a search on www.google.com for

Salix integra

There are several varieties. Do your own research because this
newsgroup has been known to have someone who give the same answer to
every tree question, even if it's a shrub.

good luck,

I'm you, remember!? I have yet to see one specific reply about
anything remotely related to horticulture, plants or trees. Just the
same tired cut and paste. I guess he thinks he's smart putting your
name under my post. One never knows what one entertaining things one
will do to keep one entertained.
