A note from PlantMom
Pale willow is resistant to disease and generally not susceptible to illnesses. Regarding care, this plant is fairly low maintenance. When grown outdoors, it needs minimal watering, and larger plants usually do not require pruning. Smaller plants, however, should be pruned after they have bloomed. Pale willow is suitable for anyone with an outdoor area, such as a garden or deck, and does not demand extensive care experience.
