Salix alba ‘Tristis’

Description

Salix alba ‘Tristis’, commonly known as the Golden Weeping Willow, is a striking tree with graceful, pendulous branches and vibrant golden-yellow twigs that stand out during the winter months. This deciduous tree is renowned for its dramatic appearance and fast growth, making it an excellent choice for large gardens or landscapes. It thrives near water and can be used to stabilize soil along riverbanks or ponds. In spring and summer, its long, narrow leaves provide ample shade, and its cascading form adds elegance to any setting.
