About this plant
Salix matsudana 'Navajo,' commonly known as Navajo curly willow, is a distinctive ornamental tree celebrated for its striking curly or contorted branches. It provides year-round visual interest, with its twisted branches acting as an architectural focal point, particularly during winter when the trunk and limbs are bare. Its lush, narrow, green leaves offer a bright contrast during the growing season. This fast-growing willow is ideal for adding structural drama to landscapes and thrives in moist areas, making it excellent for water features or along ponds and streams.
