[Branching Plants Guide | Summer] Dragon Willow


Hello everyone.

SiKiTO's "Branch Delivery Service" delivers the best branches selected by professionals, depending on the weather and purchasing conditions at the time.

The branch we're introducing this time is 'Sekka-yanagi (Pussy Willow)'.

It belongs to the willow family, genus Salix. Its origin is Japan. It is a variety of Onoye-yanagi whose branches have become fasciated.

Among branches, its powerful presence is arguably unparalleled.

Sekka-yanagi, with its organic curves and straightforward lines, and unique branch shapes that vary from one branch to another, is often used as an accent in ikebana and bouquets.

It is said that it rarely produces fasciated branches unless various conditions are met. Doesn't hearing that make you feel an even deeper affection for your encounter with this branch?

If it adapts to the environment, it may develop aerial roots and new shoots.
