Narrative
Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Salix babylonica 'Yatsubusa'. Donated to Dr. Olsen, who brought them to USNA. The name under which they were received is a misspelling of 'Rokkaku' (sometimes listed as 'Rokkakudo'), a male weeping willow cultivar of normal tree proportions grown from a famous tree at a temple of that name in Kyoto, Japan. The dwarf plants that we received are sometimes mistakenly called this, but are actually those otherwise traded as 'Yatsubusa', an invalid (unpublished) epithet according to the ICRA for Salix. Their leaves appear to be smaller while confined to containers, but it is questionable how dwarf they might remain if given ample space to grow. -SBL Received as: Salix 'Rokkakududai'.
