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.
