When I saw this plant this spring I fell in love with it. It was already 5 foot tall when I purchased it - the catkins weren't open yet. Over the ensuing 2 months, it too, eventually died, from the canopy down. It had even sprouted a branch with 7-8 leaves on it, but it soon died. We have had quite a bit of rain this Spring so dryness could not have been a problem. I am at a loss as to why this happened? I dug it up and returned it to the place I purchased it from.

I just baught one this spring and the top died on it. Can I use one on of the suckers on the bottom to try and get it to grow up like the main stem did?The stem is still alive about 12 inches from the dirt.Also can I plant it in the ground. Right now we have high water and the moisture is no problem for it if I put it in the ground.It will get alot of moisture where I want to put it because I live by a lake and it is fairly low land.

A beautiful accent plant which doesn't require much room.
