A highly ornamental, large, rounded multi-stemmed shrub with dark maroon-black new growth and bright fall colors. 'Sekka' is grown as an ornamental shrub and for the flower market. With a very tropical summer look, fall brings rich yellow leaves and winter finds it stark naked BUT with a very distinct shape unlike any other willow. A 'male-only' cultivar it is noted for its flattened and contorted branchlets. Silver-gray 1.5" long catkins with yellow anthers along reddish-purple stems in early Spring. Fast growing.
