Corkscrew Willow Grafted Tree – 2–3 Feet Tall (*Salix matsudana* 'Tortuosa')

Corkscrew Willow Grafted Live Tree

Corkscrew Willow (Salix matsudana 'Tortuosa') is an ornamental deciduous tree recognized for its distinctive twisted branches, contorted stems, and smooth green bark. Its unusual branch structure makes it a popular choice for floral arrangements, decorative displays, and landscape planting.

This is a grafted live tree measuring approximately 2–3 feet tall at the time of shipping. It will be shipped in a pot; the exact pot size is not specified by the seller. This variety is described as a female clone with lower pollen production than male-cloned varieties.

Corkscrew Willow prefers moist conditions and full sun. It can be suitable for landscape areas with consistently damp soil, but its moisture-seeking roots should be considered carefully when selecting a planting location. The seller notes that the tree is useful for bank stabilization and that its roots can be aggressive near water lines and septic systems.
