Salix alba Tristis
Common Name: Weeping White Willow
Golden weeping willow (Salix alba 'Tristis') has bright yellow young stems and long, hanging branches. Its broad, flowing crown needs substantial space, and weak wood, litter, and vigorous roots require careful siting.
Its structure combines upright growth and an open canopy. Growth is fast. The leaves are shed for winter. Autumn foliage can bring yellow tones.
Choose a partly to fully shaded site. Provide well-drained soil and maintain even moisture. Keep its vigorous roots and brittle branches well away from buildings and utilities.
