corkscrew willow

Corkscrew Willow as its common name suggests has contorted twisted branches and twigs. This gives it an interesting and attractive ornamental feature especially in winter. It’s a medium sized, fast growing tree. Like many willows this tree does best in moist conditions – it will tolerate some drought as it matures. The branches grow at an acute angle to the trunk and then curve back to a more horizontal position.
