Corkscrew Willow

The main appeal of the corkscrew willow is its drooping, twisted, contorted twigs. They start slender and olive-green and mature to gray-brown. Like the twigs, the leaves are often twisted.

The corkscrew willow, scientifically known as Salix matsudana 'Tortuosa' or Salix babylonica 'Tortuosa,' is a unique and visually striking tree known for its distinctive features. As you mentioned, the main appeal of the corkscrew willow lies in its drooping, twisted, and contorted twigs. These twigs are a prominent tree characteristic and set it apart from other willow species.


The twigs of the corkscrew willow start slender and have an olive-green color when they are young

However, as they mature, they gradually turn to a gray-brown shade. This transformation in color adds to the tree's visual interest throughout the seasons. In addition to its contorted twigs, corkscrew willow leaves are often twisted, enhancing the tree's unique appearance. The leaves are typically narrow and lance-shaped and may have serrated edges. They are generally green, and their twisted nature adds to the overall charm of the tree.


These distinctive features make the corkscrew willow popular for landscaping and ornamental purposes. Its striking appearance can add whimsy and visual interest to gardens, parks, or other outdoor spaces. Additionally, corkscrew willows are often grown near water bodies like ponds or streams, as they have a natural affinity for moisture.
Overall, the corkscrew willow's contorted twigs and twisted leaves of this addition are attractive and eye-catching—landscaping, providing a unique and artistic element to outdoor settings.
