Hi--- Cherie, I've never heard of a Dappled Willow; doesn't it have the scientific name on the tag? It will probably do fine as long as it gets plenty of water & sun... my neighbor across from me had some kind of willow, maybe Golden?... I loved it because I, yes I, could see it from across the street; I watched it grow from a small little thing, and about 4 or 5 yrs later, they chopped it down!! I was so upset! It would blow with the breeze, and always looked so relaxing and serene... they did it because of the Roots, I think. I've heard that willows are bad about their roots getting into sewer pipes & other places they shouldn't... which is why my husband never wanted me to get one! So Cherie, just make sure your new ones aren't prone to spreading roots in the wrong places... or you'll have trouble later. Hopefully, that variety won't have bad habits--- they sure are pretty, Cherie. Oh, also, our soil around here is alkaline, and their tree grew fine in that type of soil!
