Plant Desert Willow trees in full sun or light shade, depending on the site requirements and soil tolerances. Although it may grow in a variety of soil types, it thrives on soil that drains well. Allow the soil to completely dry out before watering again or modify the planting hole with quick-draining soil to prevent root rot in Desert Willow.

Water the Desert Willow deeply every five to seven days during the first year of growth. Every two weeks in the summer and every month in the winter, water established Desert Willow trees. To repair winter damage, prune in the spring as the leaves start to appear. Pruning only the lowest limbs each spring until the tree reaches the desired height can help you preserve a single trunk.
