Salix integra ‘Hakuro Nishiki’
Unlike the cascading Pussy Willow, the Dappled Willow ‘Hakuro Nishiki’ offers a softly luminous presence, a tree of renewal and gentle transformation. In early spring, its leaves emerge brushed in delicate pink, cream, and fresh green, as though light itself has settled upon its branches. Quick to leaf out and vibrant in spirit, it symbolizes hope returning, colour after stillness, and the quiet resilience of the heart. Compact and refined in form, it brings life and movement to even the smallest garden spaces.

Tree Delivery
Each Tribute Tree is carefully cultivated over four to 12 weeks after we receive the ashes, depending on the amount you choose to send. During this time, the ashes are gently incorporated into a specially prepared soil blend to support strong, healthy root development.
Delivery is thoughtfully coordinated to ensure your tree arrives at the right time for planting. Service is available across the Lower Mainland, with custom options for other regions within British Columbia.
