More than a month ago I moved my Nishiki willows to a shadier place in my garden. Unfortunately, they had lost their pink tips with too much sun. That is the feature that I like most about these shrubs. Will they ever come back? |
your plant is most likely stressed and will be growing slowly. Please do not be tempted to fertilize it at this point, a stressed plant simply needs time to root well and recover. Once the plant is settled in its permanent location, next spring you could fertilize it with a complete granular fertilizer such as 10-10-10 according to label instructions and/or apply a layer of compost early next spring. Good luck with your willow! your plant is most likely stressed and will be growing slowly.
