Description

Often seen in wet areas beside rivers, Salix x sepulcralis chrysocomas a very popular Golden Weeping Willow tree. Golden yellow, new branches weep to the ground, whilst the narrow yellowish green foliage forms a beautiful curtain of gold and green at eye level. Yellow catkins in April give this elegant tree additional spring seasonal interest and the golden young bark looks glorious when bare during the winter months

This breathtaking Golden Weeping Willow has a wide spreading, dome forming majestic shape and will grow to 8 x 6 metres in 20 years. It is ideal for tricky wet sites and has deservedly received the RHS Award of Golden Merit.

AKA Golden Weeping Willow, Salix x sepulcralis var. chrysocoma

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
