Water: Low

Site Requirements /Soil Tolerances: Plant Desert Willow tree in full sun or partial shade. It will tolerate various soil conditions but does best in soil that drains well. Too much water will cause Desert Willow to get root rot, so allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again, or amend the planting hole with fast draining soil.
Culture: For the first year, water Desert Willow deeply every five to seven days. Water established Desert Willow trees every two weeks in the summer and every month in the winter. Prune in spring just as leaves emerge to remove winter damage. To maintain a single trunk, prune only the lowest limbs every spring until the tree is as tall as you want it.
Uses: Container or above-ground planter; recommended for buffer strips around parking lots or
for median strip plantings in the highway; near a deck or patio; reclamation plant; specimen.
Desert Willow can be left as a shrub, or trained into a tree with several trunks. They take well to trimming so they can also be used as hedges.
