Transplant dappled willow = death???

I just transplanted a dappled willow from a pot to the ground and it is really starting to wilt! I wanna save my little guy!!! What should I do? I’ve tried watering quite a bit… thinking it was in transplant shock, but it doesn’t seem to be bouncing back. Should I cut back on watering? The base is still very very green, but the white willow tips are yellow and droopy!

Answer #1

Dappled willows need a LOT of water… it may just be suffering shock form being moved. Just don;t let it dry out at all… good luck.

Answer #2

It is quite hard to kill a willow.

Dont overwater

Make sure the soil is pressed down firm around it

Even if the leaves and tips die off, it will eventually shoot out again.

Dont worry.
