The Weeping Golden Willow is a large deciduous tree for large gardens, or for growing in a large tub. It will reach 75 feet tall, or more, with a wide spread, and should be planted in an open area with plenty of room. It has long pendulous branches that are golden-yellow, and bright green spring leaves. The fall leaves are yellow. The weeping habit of this tree makes it incredibly beautiful, and this particular variety is the very best choice of the different weeping willows that are available.
The Golden Weeping Willow should be grown in full sun or some partial shade, in almost any soil that is not dry. It grows well in wet ground and even standing in shallow water, and it is very fast growing, reaching about 30 feet in 10 years. Some pests or diseases are possible, and it may be damaged in major storms, but planted in the right place it is too beautiful not to grow. It can also be grown for some years in a large planter, and even stood in that planter in a garden pond.
