Some home gardeners know the variety as S. subfragilis. Anderss. Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Salix nipponica Family: Salicaceae Author: Franch.&Savat. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: Mature Width: Habitat: Wet lowlands all over Japan[58].
Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in most soils, including wet, ill-drained or intermittantly flooded soils[1, 11], but prefers a damp, heavy soil in a sunny position[200]. Rarely thrives on chalk[200].
This species is quite possibly no more than a form of S. triandra[11].

Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus[200].
Dioecious. Male and female plants must be grown if seed is required.
