Common Name:
Corkscrew Willow
Other Names: Tortured Willow, Peking Willow, Hankow Willow
A small to medium-sized, upright spreading tree of about 30 feet in height with a 15-foot-spread.
Lush twisty leaves sway in the wind during the growing season. The winter branch pattern is most interesting.
When in leaf, they provide a great visual break in the landscape with their soft green texture. They are comfortable in wet areas and surprisingly drought resistant at the same time. When first planted, regular watering can give you a beautiful-looking tree in just a few years..
