• 'Chrysocoma' makes a spectacular statement tree with its golden stems and showy foliage. Catkins burst into life in spring against a backdrop of green foliage which turns a lovely yellow in autumn.
  
• A hardy and vigorous tree which looks good even in winter, the golden weeping willow is easy to grow and doesn't even need pruning as the weeping shoots naturally form a domed canopy.
• Ideal for planting near a seating area to provide summer shade and colour, 'Chrysocoma' also holds the RHS Award of Golden Merit, a marker of how well it performs in British gardens.
• Great for coastal areas, where it provides a windbreak, as well as by ponds and streams, where it will thrive in wet soil and help prevent erosion. It will also readily attract pollinating insects to your garden.
• Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
• Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
• Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
• Please note that young trees often don't have a weeping shape, particularly when they arrive early in the year after being pruned - but hold tight and that unique form will develop over time
• Our mature trees are grown in Air-Pots®, the only type of pot to completely eliminate root circling. A unique design stimulates air pruning for a mass of healthy fibrous roots, which results in a healthy tree that will establish quickly in your garden. With each Air-Pot® made to last up to 20 years, we reuse them on the nursery and wrap your mature tree in hessian for delivery - but if you’d rather keep your tree potted, simply add an Air-Pot® to your basket along with your tree.
