Salix matsudana Tortuosa Details

Salix matsudana Tortuosa, commonly known as the Tortured Willow or Corkscrew Willow tree, is grown for its interesting stems and foliage. It gets its common name from the contorted nature of the stems. The fine and lush foliage emerges mid-green in spring, ages to a darker green, then develops yellow tones in autumn before falling. The foliage is held on pendulous stems as it grows to 15 m tall and 8 m wide. It can be contained to sizes less than this with trimming and performs best when grown in full sun or partial shade on soils that remain consistently moist. It will tolerate frost, cool climates, heavy and wet soils, and some wind. Salix matsudana Tortuosa is commonly planted around water features, grown as a specimen, or added to a mixed planting in a large garden. It is also well suited to riparian planting and assisting with reducing erosion.
