Contorted Willow
Red, Gold
Salix matsudana 'Tortuosa'
Gold Contorted Willow above
A florist's and crafter's delight! Also adds interest to the landscape. Branches grow in a contorted manner having no predictable direction other than 'up'. Dried branches are a popular decorating item as well as used in flower arrangements.
Prefers full sun and a moist location. Can withstand standing water for several weeks. Useful to dry up low, moist areas in the landscape as well. Keep away from septic fields and sewer lines as roots may invade.
Narrow shiny green leaves appear early and have a bright golden-yellow fall color. Bare branches in winter are quite interesting. Ultimate height if not pruned back can be 25 feet. Can be grown as a tree or shrub. Ours are trained as a small tree, but can be easily trained as a shrub. 10-15 feet in width.
Hardy zones 3b-8
There are two "colors" available which refers to the color of the branches. The red has a deep red color and the gold has a light greenish-gold to gold color depending on the maturity of the branch.
Both colors are container grown. Shipped out of pot with rootball wrapped.
