The Golden Weeping Willow (Salix Sepulcralis Chrysocoma) is a fast-growing, large tree known for its graceful, cascading branches and vibrant golden-yellow foliage. It thrives near water, often found by garden ponds, lakes, or streams, where its roots can easily establish in moist soil. This tree can be propagated effortlessly by simply inserting a long twig or cutting into the ground, allowing it to root and grow into a healthy sapling.
The Golden Weeping Willow is renowned for its striking appearance, with long, drooping branches that sway beautifully in the breeze. In spring and summer, its bright yellow-green leaves add a vibrant touch to any landscape, while in the fall, they transform into a rich golden hue, providing seasonal interest. Ideal for large gardens or water-side settings, this tree creates a stunning focal point or a serene backdrop.
Perfect for gardeners looking to add a dramatic, fast-growing tree to their landscape, the Golden Weeping Willow also attracts wildlife, including birds and insects, with its lush foliage and ability to provide shelter. It’s a low-maintenance tree that thrives in moist conditions and offers both beauty and shade for outdoor spaces.
Aftercare
Pruning a weeping willow (or other willow variety) is simple – prune when there is no active growth usually between November to early March to prevent sap bleeding from the trees. Remove branches that block airflow to the trunk and any damaged branches. When planting always remember to water really well in its first year.
