Default Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki'

We were actually looking for another grafted type willow on a standard and
stumbled across this. Has anyone else had any experience with them?
I thought it was a little pricey @ 89.99 but it was a good specimen with a
nice straight standard.

If you bought a grafted specimen, you paid the whole $90 for the grafting. I
have it as a natural bush, which someone gave me for nothing. In Zone 5 it is
very enthusiastic. It is listed as growing 6 feet tall & across, but has
ambitions to grow bigger. I need to prune it severely to keep it in line. It
has no pests & is a nice shrub if you want a big one. It is only variegated in
the spring. It is solid green in hot weather.
