Salix 'Golden Curls' (Std) ('Golden Curls' Willow) - A relatively new cultivar hybridized from two beautiful and popular trees combines desirable qualities of each parent. A cross of the corkscrew willow S. matsudana 'Tortuosa' - with contorted and twisted branches, and the golden weeping willow S. alba 'Tristis' (also listed as Salix alba 'Vitellina Pendula') - with gold bark in winter and long pendulous branches. The hybrid has golden barked branches which are both contorted and pendulous. Very rapid growing and most useful in sunny sites on moist soils where it should reach 40' in height. Easily propagated from either softwood or hardwood cuttings, and becoming fairly available in many sections of the country. Adapted for use in zones 4-8.
The information about Salix 'Golden Curls' displayed on this web page is based on our research conducted in the nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also include observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing this plant. |
