Description

The Salix alba vitellina 'Yelverton' is fast-growing, attractive, and perfect for winter interest. This hardy Willow displays narrow mid-green leaves joined by relatively small catkins in late spring.

 

This medium-sized, ornamental tree has colourful bark with stems that take on shades of red, orange and yellow during winter. 

 

This award-winning Willow is a hardy addition, suitable for wildlife gardens and is usually grown in cottage and informal settings. 

 

Planting Position

The Salix alba vitellina 'Yelverton' will do well in full sun and moist or wet soil.

 

Aftercare

Willows are generally pretty low maintenance. Pruning can be done between late autumn and early spring and is recommended to encourage a good shape and for those grown for their winter stem colour.

 

Size

After 10 years, the tree can be expected to reach a height of 6m with a 4m spread.
