Salix koriyanagi 'Rubikins'

Salix koriyanagi 'Rubikins' is a versatile and visually striking willow, ideal for a range of applications from basketry to living willow projects. This variety is distinguished by its long, slender rods, which can reach up to 12 feet in length when coppiced annually. The stems are adorned with delicate, reddish tips and beautiful small grey to rose-coloured catkins that appear early in the season.

Key Features and uses:

    • Colour and Texture: The new growth tips exhibit a lovely pinkish-red hue, while the dried rods showcase a mix of brown, yellow, and light green colours. The willow is especially striking in the field!
    • Applications: This willow is an excellent choice for living willow structures and privacy hedges. It is also a favoured option for basketry, though it can be somewhat challenging to use.
    • Blooming: Early blooming, this willow features numerous small grey to rose-coloured catkins that add to its ornamental appeal.

Growth & care: 

  • Growth Habit: Salix koriyanagi 'Rubikins' is a flexible and tall willow, growing up to 12 feet if left uncoppiced. It has a slender, attractive foliage and produces minimal branching, making it well-suited for applications requiring long, straight rods for weaving.
