Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Twisted golden branches with scarlet stems and curly green leaves make an eye-catching picture of this vigorous small tree (to 30' x 15'); the colorful effect peaks after the first frost, when the scarlet becomes most intense. S/M-W

By: Forestfarm

A fairly small, fast growing, oval-shaped tree. Interesting, twisted, golden branches and red twigs which may become more intense after the first frost. The leaves are also curled.

By: Garden World

Like the above but one zone less hardy but it has twisted SCARLET RED stems. This red becomes more intense after the first frost. Doesn't need soil as moist as the typical willow. Good in flower arrangements. A bit more robust in growth than Golden Curls.
