Salix X 'Scarlet Curls

Scarlet Curls Willow

Scarlet Curls willow (Salix ‘Scarlet Curls’) develops twisted branches with young red stems that become golden yellow as they age. Curled leaves add another layer of movement to the deciduous crown.

The colored framework is particularly conspicuous after leaf fall, and cut branches are useful in arrangements. Allow room for a substantial tree and keep vigorous willow roots away from buildings and underground services.

Grow in full sun with well-drained soil and regular water during establishment. Choose a site away from paving, foundations, and underground utilities.
