Fast-growing, Salix ‘Golden Curls’ (Willow) is a large shrub or small tree of great ornamental value. Although the trunk and older branches are upright, forming an oval rounded crown, the younger branches weep gracefully downward, curling and twisting. Golden-yellow in winter and early spring, they mature to bronze-gold in summer. In spring, they get clothed in glossy green, lance-shaped leaves which curl and twist, forming pretty gold and green tresses. The foliage turns brilliant golden-yellow in the fall, before falling to the ground, revealing the sculptural silhouette of the plant in the winter. This willow is a cross of the corkscrew willow Salix matsudana ‘Tortuosa’ and the golden weeping willow Salix alba ‘Tristis’. A most useful willow for sunny sites and moist soils with outstanding ornamental value throughout the year.
