Graceful & Elegant Willow With Golden Coloring
Glowing and flowing, the Niobe Weeping Willow (Salix alba tristis 'Niobe') is a popular Willow cultivar known for its golden yellow coloring. Willows are known for their falling canopy of foliage that seems to rise up from the center only to cascade down again in a graceful arch reminiscent of a waterfall.
The branchlets shift and flow on the breeze giving rise to a rhythmic dance and soothing rustling that further adds to this unique tree's allure! A Willow is simply one of the most elegant and restful trees you can have in your yard, and the Niobe cultivar is no exception.
Your Niobe Weeping Willow is recognized for its coloring. The four-inch, narrow leaves have finely toothed edges that maintain a lively green-yellow color during the summer months. The leaves also have a whitish hue on the undersides, a charming compliment to the vibrant foliage and decorative golden bark.
Landscape Application:
Niobe is one of the hardiest of the Willows, and even in the winter months is sure to delight with its golden coloring. It's also popular as a shelter for birds! Host plants for many insects, birds flock to Willows to collect food for their hungry chicks.
Plant one in a side or backyard where space is sufficient for its size and spread where you can enjoy their shade, their flowing branches, and romantic beauty.
This tree would also do well in those low, moist spots in your yard where other trees may struggle. Tolerating more moisture than many trees, plant Willows along riparian areas, ponds, and stream banks, in Rain Gardens, and in those soggy locations around your landscape. Filtering water runoff before it returns to the water supply.
- Airy Fine-Textured Slender Leaves
- Golden Colored Vibrant Foliage
- Winter & Wildlife Interest
- Fast-Growing Deciduous Trees
- Romantic Shade, Specimen & Riparian Locations
#ProPlantTips for Care
Willow trees grow in full sun but in hot climates of USDA planting zones 4 to 8, and handle well-drained soil locations that are moderately moist to wet but can withstand some drought when mature. Prune as needed in late winter but your Niobe Weeping Willow is a fast-growing tree that doesn't mind being trimmed. If left to grow naturally, its branchlets will reach right down to the ground.
- Full Sun & Some Shade In Hot Climates
- Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate to High Moisture
- Prune Late Winter
- Deer-Resistant
The Willow is valued for its uniquely beautiful appearance and the golden Niobe Weeping Willow tree will certainly be a valued asset to your landscape. Order yours today from the tree experts at NatureHills.com!
