Frequently Asked Questions
How fast does a Corkscrew Willow Tree grow?
The Corkscrew Willow is a very fast-growing tree, often adding 3–6 feet of growth per year under ideal conditions.
How tall and wide does a Curly Willow Tree get?
A mature Corkscrew Willow typically reaches 20–30 feet tall and 15–20 feet wide, forming an attractive open canopy with twisting branches.
Does the Corkscrew Willow need a lot of water?
Yes - this tree prefers consistently moist soil and grows especially well near ponds, creeks, or irrigated areas. However, once established, it tolerates short dry periods.
Is the Curly Willow Tree messy or invasive?
While it is not invasive, it can drop small twigs due to its naturally brittle branches. Plant away from underground pipes, septic systems, or foundations because of its strong, moisture-seeking roots.
Can I grow a Corkscrew Willow in a pot?
Yes! Young curly willows grow beautifully in large containers and make striking patio plants. However, because they grow quickly, they may eventually outgrow the pot and need transplanting.
Do Corkscrew Willows lose their leaves?
Yes - they are deciduous trees, meaning they drop their leaves in fall. The bare winter branches create their famous curly, sculptural look.
Are curly willow branches good for floral arrangements?
Absolutely! The twisted stems are highly sought after for floral décor, dried arrangements, bonsai, and centerpiece designs. Many gardeners grow this tree specifically for harvesting its unique branches.
