Tiny
"Experienced Gardner. Received a dry stick. The roots looked good so tried anyway but no luck. It's been 3 months and nothing. I would've rather paid more for larger that would've acclimated better. Don't waste your money"
12-15 ft. tall x 12-15 ft. wide. A profusion of lightly fragrant white flowers cover this small growing native tree beginning in late spring. With summer rains, it will continue to bloom sporadically for the rest of the growing season. Plant it where it gets plenty of heat and sun. A very cold hardy cultivar originally introduced many years ago by the USDA Los Lunas Plant Materials Center of central NM. Salt tolerant; flood resistant

"plant healthy and growing well, will be ready to plant in the garden by fall."
"Nice size and well-rooted. Desert willows from High Country Gardens have always thrived for me!"
"I purchased 3 of the Hope Desert Willows in 5"" deep pots. 2 of the 3 had good roots, the third plant was a just a plug in a 5"" pot of soil."
"When this little guy arrived last fall, let's just say it was puny! A tiny twig about 6 inches long with a few leaves. Nevertheless I planted it with high hopes after reading the reviews and boy were they right!! In the spring it took off, then a late freeze got it. Came back EVEN stronger and started blooming in June. Impervious to 100 degrees plus temperatures and deluging rain. Deer haven't touched it. Amazing!"
"These look good so far. I even have blossoms the first season."
"I planted this in front of a south facing brick wall in Denver (5b/6a) four years ago and it is now 15 feet tall and flowers all summer. I water it once a week now that it is established and I haven't fertilized it yet, but I plan to give it some yum yum mix this fall. It leafs out in late May which always makes me worried that it didn't survive the winter. I love desert willows. I also have a pink one and the purple Lucretia Hamilton one, both doing well along a west facing brick wall."
"I love all the chilopsis. Had a pink one at my old house. I got two for this house. A dog urinated on one and burned it and it came back from the woody part. Excited to watch these grow through the years."
"Only 8 inches tall when planted last month, it's grown an inch and is loaded with flower buds! What a tough little performer! Extremely pleased. I am looking forward to it growing tall enough to cast a bit of shade on a pocket garden filled with native wildflowers."
"Happy and surprised how well they are doing."
