    Bright gold winter twig color is the outstanding feature of this attractive fast-growing multi-branched tree/shrub and its glossy dark-green leaves make it a pretty hedge plant; this willow can easily grow 8' in a season, it can be kept in bounds by cutting back to 1' in late-winter, if left to it is own devices, it can reach up to 60'!

    Rich yellow-orange new growth on tree up to 60' if left unpruned. Regular coppicing is the best treatment for bright bark and attractive stems.
