Planting & Care

A remarkable twisted willow, prized for its ornamental beauty.
Features stunning, crimson, winding branches that provide year-round visual appeal, especially in winter.
Young red branches mature to beautiful shades of orange and tawny.
Soft, yellow catkins emerge in spring, followed by unique, twisting, lance-shaped leaves.
Proud recipient of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Species: Willow
Flowering Time: Yellow catkins appear in April and May.
Sunlight: Prefers a full sun position.
Spread: Reaches an eventual spread of approximately 4-6m.
Habit: Develops spreading, arching branches with twisting, corkscrew shoots and gently weeping younger branches.
Hardiness: H5 - Fully hardy in the UK, tolerating temperatures down to -15°C.
Pest & Disease: Generally has good resistance, but can be affected by aphids, caterpillars, or rust.
Soil: Thrives in moist, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH.

Spacing: Plant 4-6m apart to allow for its eventual spread.
Watering: Water deeply every week during the first growing season. Wilting leaves or dry soil are signs it needs a drink.
Feeding: No regular feeding is required. You can add well-rotted compost to the planting hole for an initial boost.
Pruning: In late winter or early spring, prune lightly to remove damaged shoots. For the most colourful new stems, you can hard prune (coppice) back to 5cm from the ground annually from its second or third year.

Product Specifications

Height on Arrival: 180-200cm including roots.
Eventual Height: Grows to approximately 5-8m.
Supplied As: A 2-year-old bare root tree.
Our trees are expertly pruned before shipping to encourage a bushier, well-shaped form.
