Golden Willow

What: The Golden Willow (Salix alba ‘Vitellina’) is a tough, fast-growing deciduous shade tree featuring striking golden branches that provide exceptional winter interest and a dense, rounded canopy that can reach up to 50 feet at maturity.

Best use: This highly adaptable, cold-hardy tree is ideal for large, open landscape areas, windbreaks, or shelterbelts, but should be planted away from homes and utility lines due to its aggressive root system and low canopy.
