Salix pedicellata

Mediterranean willow comes from open habitats, such as sunny meadows and forest margins, where there is plenty of light. It flourishes in full sun but can also tolerate partial sun, adapting well to a range of sunlight conditions.

The Mediterranean willow is highly adaptable to different climate conditions, whether facing blistering summers or cold winters. Nevertheless, it has a preferred temperature range for optimal growth. When temperatures rise too much, the plant becomes vulnerable to heat and humidity stress, which can lead to its death. In locations where temperatures approach the lower bound of its cold tolerance, it is important to use insulation measures to protect the plant.

Fertilize your Mediterranean willow in early spring to encourage healthy growth. Regular feeding boosts overall health, leading to vigorous development, greater toughness in harsh conditions, and improved resistance to pests and diseases. Keep to a consistent fertilization schedule for your Mediterranean willow to preserve vibrant foliage with deep color and a lush appearance.
