Finally got a Salix integra (Harlekin/Flamingo willow) cutting to root directly in soil (got one to root in water glass last year but it died upon replanting to a pot), placed it there in early September so it went considerably fast
I know it was not the optimum time of the year to do it, so I wonder - should I plant it out in the garden still this autumn (I fear it's too weak to handle winter), or over winter it indoors the first year for a head start (here I fear it will get pests)?
Zone 8a, old ones planted out here do keep their leaves very long, into early December, and shoot again very early in late March
