Flame Willow - Bundle of 25 - Bare Root

Description + Attributes:
A hardy, tough and extremely adaptable smaller accent tree featuring flaming orange-red branches that make for a particularly breathtaking relief from the white of winter.  Flame willow is grown for its ornamental qualities.  Both in summer and in winter, the branches of the red form retain a bright orangey-red glow.
The numerous branches of this willow are especially striking against dark evergreens.  There are two ways to grow this plant – pruned or left to grow to its natural form.
Makes an excellent choice for screening and informal hedges.
Provides a great accent piece to any landscaping design.
Foliage is green throughout spring and summer then turns to a lovely golden color in the fall.
