About the Golden Weeping Willow – Salix ‘Chrysocoma’

The Golden Weeping Willow Tree is a beautiful and fast-growing tree that is sure to make a statement in your garden. With its dome-shaped draping crown and long, pendulous branches, this tree can grow up to an average of 15m tall. The ‘golden’ shoots and slender green-yellow leaves give this tree a striking appearance in its infancy, and as it matures, the leaves become a deeper green.

The Golden Weeping Willow Tree loves to grow in almost all soils, including waterlogged ground, making it an excellent flood defence; growing conditions where full sunlight is accessible are preferred. In the Spring, the tree produces yellow hanging catkins which are essential for pollination. It also provides nectar and pollen for pollinating insects, making it an excellent choice for bees. This tree brings an abundance of wildlife. Plant a Golden Weeping Willow Tree and enjoy its beauty for many years to come!

How the tree comes:

Our stunning Golden Weeping Willow Trees are grown in Premium containers in a natural blend of soil and nutrients. They are available in bareroot form during the dormant season and can be purchased in 8 litre and 12 litre pots all year round.  Our Premium and exclusive ground mix is a well-balanced first-class combination of biodiversity promoting healthy growth. We ensure that our trees are well hydrated and have large enough pots to house them, meaning they are less likely to suffer from pot-bounding.

Did you know:-

• its bark is an excellent source of medicine for reducing fever, treatment of pain, headache and inflammatory conditions
• it is also very fast growing. Coppicing a willow (cutting it back to ground level) will result in numerous rods growing from the base that will grow at an amazing rate of 1.2 – 3.0m (4 – 10′) in a single season

The delicate, golden, weeping shoots and hanging branches of the willow swaying in the wind will create a romantic atmosphere that will bring peace and tranquillity to your landscape. Its round canopy lines rivers and waterways across the nation and its branches provide food for wildlife and refuge for birds. It is a must-have for any green-fingered enthusiast. The Weeping Willow grows quickly whilst establishing strong root systems. These roots have the ability to filter toxic chemicals as well prevent soil erosion, therefore making it an excellent choice for habitat restoration and erosion control in natural spaces and places prone to flooding.
