Unique Ornamental Tree Perfect for Smaller Spaces
The incredibly contorted and curvy Scarlet Curls Willow Tree (Salix matsudana x S. alba 'Scarlet Curls') is a vigorous ornamental tree with an upright rounded habit! The beauty of a Willow is compounded by its golden brown wavy branches, twisted twigs, and even wavy-edged leaves!
Its twisted scarlet red stems spiral upwards making Scarlet Curls an ornamental, deciduous tree. It produces red, young wood, and as the branches age, the red changes to an eye-catching golden yellow. This fast-growing, small ornamental tree is terrific for the smaller landscape.
Providing amazing winter interest, the branches are just as excellent in cut flower arrangements as they are by themselves in vases or when dried. You will receive the most colorful effect of Scarlet Curls after the first frost when the scarlet becomes most intense!
Thriving throughout USDA growing zones 5 to 8, and can grow up to 25 - 30 feet tall and 15 - 20 feet wide but can be trimmed to any size you prefer or even kept your Scarlet Curls as a shrub form that is rounded and full!
Landscape Application:
This medium-sized tree is a form of the Corkscrew Willow Tree and can be used as a specimen, beside a pond or stream, or at the back of the property. A pretty picture on its own all year round, the contorted stems attract attention from near and far!
Perfect as a backdrop for a cutting garden, the branches of this variety are often used by florists in expensive flower arrangements. Cut your own softwood in spring and new growth in the early morning. Wrap the ends in a wet towel to keep moisture levels high.
Keep these trees in a shorter shrub form with the branches kept to the ground. Fantastic screening and property division, you will love the twisting branches adding their quirky nature to mixed shrub borders and mixed tree lines where they stand out in the winter the most!

#ProPlantTips for Care
Willow trees prefer full sun, do best if they receive at least six hours of full sunlight, and prefer moist, average soil. Because this willow tree adapts easily to any soil type, soil pH testing and amending are not necessary! Willow thrives in moist soil to average soil, however, once your plants are established, they will tolerate drier well-drained soils as long as they have a bit more shade and a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around the root system.
Scarlet Curls Willow has roots that can be invasive and head directly toward any water source. Plant yours at least 10 feet from a septic tank, water source, foundation, or paved area. Prune in late winter to keep your tree tidier and remove dead branching.
