Salix babylonica 'Tortuosa' Tree
An ideal choice for a damp site where winter interest is required. Upswept branches are twisted, contorted and corkscrewed creating a mass of curly green. Small yellow catkins in spring are followed by summer foliage which is narrow, mid-green and also contorted. The smooth bark adds to the overall texture of this lovely Willow tree.
A flower arranger’s dream, Dragon's Claw Willow will grow to 6 x 4 metres in 20 years. Alternatively consider a multistem form with 3 or more branches coming from ground level, this can be more easily pruned to produce even more curly-wurly branches and makes a good screen or hedge alternative.
