$25.00
Corkscrew Willow, Salix matsudana, is a fast-growing deciduous tree known for its unique appearance. Its most striking feature is its contorted, twisted branches that resemble corkscrews. This whimsical form makes it a favorite for adding a touch of whimsy and visual interest to landscapes.
Beyond its aesthetics, Salix matsudana thrives in moist areas and can be used for erosion control along riverbanks. It tolerates a variety of soil conditions and puts on a vibrant yellow display in fall. However, its aggressive root system can cause problems with underground structures, and its fast growth necessitates regular pruning.
