This is a LARGE, established 6FT TREE, providing considerably more immediate height, structure, and garden presence than a small starter tree.

Commonly known as the Golden Weeping Willow, Salix ‘Chrysocoma’ is one of the most recognisable and elegant ornamental trees. As it matures, it develops long, sweeping branches that cascade gracefully towards the ground, creating the classic weeping silhouette for which Willow trees are famous.
During spring, fresh green leaves emerge along the slender branches, quickly creating an attractive leafy canopy. Throughout summer, the narrow foliage and elegant hanging stems move beautifully in the breeze, making this an especially effective tree for larger lawns, waterside planting, and naturalistic landscapes.
The attractive golden-yellow young stems also provide valuable colour and structure during the colder months after the leaves have fallen.
(Salix × sepulcralis ‘Chrysocoma’ – Hardy Deciduous Weeping Tree, ultimately developing into a large specimen tree with a broad spreading crown)
Spring:
Fresh narrow green foliage emerges along the elegant golden young stems as vigorous new growth begins.
Summer:
Long, graceful branches develop their characteristic cascading appearance, creating a beautiful flowing canopy of fresh green foliage.
Autumn:
The foliage develops attractive yellow tones before falling, adding another season of colour to the garden.
Winter:
After leaf fall, the sweeping branch structure and attractive yellow-golden young stems remain visible, providing architectural winter interest.
Habit:
A vigorous, broad-growing tree with a spectacular weeping habit. Mature branches sweep gracefully downwards, eventually creating an impressive natural canopy.
Salix ‘Chrysocoma’ performs particularly well in moist, fertile soil and is an excellent choice for larger gardens where it has plenty of room to develop. It is particularly effective near ponds and other naturally moist areas, although it should not be planted too close to buildings, drains, or underground services.
