    Hello

    I was in a nursery near Aldergrove, BC and saw these. They were a couple of rows over
    and pressed for time we didn't have time to look to see what they are. Then we saw
    these while on a walk. Can you tell me what these are so I can look for local suppliers?

    Thank you

    Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki'.

    Looks nice on a new small plant like this, but it soon becomes considerably larger and very untidy, requiring heavy pruning to keep it this size.

    Top grafted variegated willows, Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki') being most common.

    A typical maintenance routine would be to let it establish and then hard prune it annually at the end of winter.
