- Desert Willow prefers well-draining soil and full sunlight but can tolerate a variety of soil types, including sandy or rocky soils. Plant Desert Willow seedlings or small trees in spring or fall, ensuring they have enough space to spread their branches. Water regularly until established, then water deeply but infrequently, as Desert Willow is drought-tolerant once established. Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and remove dead or damaged branches.
