Corkscrew Willow Shrub

The Corkscrew Willow Tree is a wonderful tree whose long, sweeping foliage creates our classic "weeping willow" look that everyone enjoys. However, it gets its name 'corkscrew' from its curly leaves and similarly curly branches - a very unique phenomenon! The branches curve horizontally and fork vertically, giving it a distinct look and making it a great centerpiece in your garden scape. The trunk is famously soft and flexible, making it good for basket weaving as well as for furniture and other carpentry. Similarly, the bark is thin and delicate. The tree has long, thin branches that hang low to the ground, drooping over themselves shortly after they leave the main trunk. Its muted green leaves are similarly drooping, oblong and thin, helping them fall easily to the ground even in their semi-curly state.
