Bring instant color and texture to your landscape with the stunning Tri-Color Dappled Willow Tree Form (Salix integra ‘Hakuro Nishiki’). Grafted onto a single trunk and trained into an elegant tree form, this eye-catching ornamental is prized for its ever-changing foliage in shades of pink, creamy white, and green. New growth emerges bright pink before maturing into a beautiful blend of variegated colors throughout the growing season.  

These are well-established tree forms, not tiny starter plants. Their upright trunk and rounded canopy create an instant focal point in the landscape, making them perfect for entryways, foundation plantings, cottage gardens, water features, patios, and decorative containers.
