Salix integra is a species of willow native to north-eastern China, Japan, Korea and the far south-eastern Russia (Primorsky Krai).
The flowers are produced in small catkins 1–2.5 cm long in early spring; they are brownish to reddish in colour.
[1][3] The cultivar 'Hakuro Nishiki' (dappled willow) is widely grown as an ornamental plant for its variegated foliage, the leaves strongly mottled with patches and blotches of white and pale pink.
As its growth is fairly weak and shrubby, it is commonly sold grafted on the top of a straight stem of another willow.
Salix Integra generally are grafted onto a quick growing willow variety and any growth from the main stem is unwanted.
