'''''Salix integra''''' is a species of [[willow]] native to northeastern [[China]], [[Japan]], [[Korea]] and the far southeast of [[Russia]]. It is a [[deciduous]] [[shrub]] growing to 2–6 m tall with greyish-green bark and reddish to yellowish shoots. The [[leaf|leaves]] are 2-10 cm long and 1-2 cm wide; they are pale green both above and below, and unusually for a willow, are often arranged in opposite pairs or whorls of three, rather than alternate. The [[flower]]s are produced in small [[catkin]]s 1-2.5 cm long in early spring; they are brownish to reddish in colour. It is [[plant sexuality|dioecious]], with male and female catkins on separate plants. It is closely related to the European and western Asian ''[[Salix purpurea]]'', and has been treated as a [[variety (botany)|variety]] of it by some authors, as ''S. purpurea'' var. ''multinervis'' (Franchet & Savatier) Matsumura, or as a subspecies ''S. purpurea'' subsp. ''amplexicaulis'' (Chaubard) C.K.Schneid. ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== The [[cultivar]] 'Hakuro Nishiki' (dappled willow) is widely grown as an [[ornamental plant]] for its [[variegation|variegated]] foliage, the leaves strongly mottled with patches and blotches of white and pale pink. As its growth is fairly weak and shrubby, it is commonly sold [[grafting|grafted]] on the top of a straight stem of another willow. ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 File:Salix integra2 ies.jpg File:Salix integra Hakuro A.jpg </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
