ysabetwordsmithYesterday we ordered two different kinds of willow cuttings. I couldn't find a new contorta willow at a reasonable price, so I'm trying these instead. It will take time for them to grow roots, but willows are the easiest plant to root -- they make their own rooting hormone, which can be used to stimulate other plant cuttings to root.

Gold Corkscrew Willow (Salix matsudana ‘Tortuosa’) – Description
Gold Corkscrew Willow is a striking ornamental tree known for its dramatic, twisted branches and bright golden stems. Its unique curling growth habit creates year-round visual interest, especially in winter when the leafless branches showcase their sculptural form.
In spring, narrow green leaves emerge along the spiraled branches, forming a light, airy canopy. As the growing season progresses, the foliage provides soft movement in the breeze. When autumn arrives, the leaves turn yellow before dropping to reveal the tree’s signature corkscrew framework.
The golden-yellow stems are especially vibrant in winter, making this tree a standout focal point in landscapes, snow-covered settings, and cut-branch arrangements. Florists and decorators prize its twisting stems for indoor displays and seasonal décor.
Growth & Size
Mature Height: 20–30 feet
Spread: 15–20 feet
Growth Rate: Fast
Growing Requirements
Light: Full sun for best color and structure
Soil: Adapts to most soils, including clay
Water: Prefers moist soil but tolerates occasional dry spells once established

Gold Corkscrew Willow responds well to pruning, which encourages fresh, vibrant stem color and manageable size. It works beautifully as a specimen tree, near water features, or in open yard spaces where its twisted branches can be fully appreciated.
Bold, artistic, and easy to grow, Gold Corkscrew Willow adds movement, texture, and four-season interest to any landscape.
