Willow Tree Figurines, Polyester and Polyester Blend, Ivory, 9''H

Product Information

This tree is the perfect solution if you want a tree with an interesting appearance in winter but with a longer lifespan than the corkscrew willow. The almond willow can live for up to 50 years so long as you give it moist, well-drained soil and place it near a body of water. 19. Tea-Leaved Willow (Salix Phylicifolia) The osier willow is also commonly known as the basket willow due to its unique flexibility. This quality makes it ideal for basket weaving as well as willow structures and sculptures. The creeping willow is slightly different to all the others on this list. We’ve seen many trees and shrubs with a characteristic bushy appearance so far. The purple willow is another willow shrub. This one has a plump, rounded shape and arching stems with a slight purple hue, giving it its name!

Den amerikanske kunstner Susan Lordi håndskærer hver enkelt original af sine Willow Tree skulpturer i piletræ. Navnet Willow Tree er valgt for at symbolisere den inspiration Susan Lordi fik fra piletræet, der for hende står som noget smukt og samtidig repræsenterer kvalitet og følelser. Hun bruger familie og venner som modeller og forsøger at fange et øjeblik i tiden eller udtrykke en følelse. Figurerne der er støbt i polystone er lavet ud fra disse oprindelige træudskæringer og er derefter individuelt malet i hånden. Willow Tree designet startede i januar år 2000. Serien er vokset til at omfatte de fleste af de følelser vi har og den måde vi udtrykker dem på. Figurerne apellerer til minder og følelser vi har for vores nærmeste, vores venner og vores kære, hvad enten de er nær eller fjern. The narrow-leaf willow will sit in virtually any soil type, not showing a preference – it’ll even quite happily grow in sandy or clay soils. The corkscrew willow is best for winter gardens, as its yellow leaves drop in the autumn, allowing you to see the true spectacle that is its twisted corkscrew branches.

Come back when you're older

This tree does exactly what its name suggests – its branches have a graceful weeping habit and show off glorious, golden-yellow foliage. This makes it highly unique from many other willow varieties, which tend to possess green leaves. Need a touch of elegance, height, or a stunning focal point to liven up your garden? A willow tree is the perfect solution.

Its beautiful, fuzzy catkins not only give pollinators an early source of pollen, but the caterpillars simply adore its leaves.The shining willow’s best quality is undoubtedly its leaves. It produces shiny green leaves that are a lighter shade of green on the underside. When caught by the wind, these flutter around, producing a ripple-like effect in the breeze. Willow trees and shrubs typically have long, thin, spear-shaped leaves which are easily identifiable. Get up close and personal, and you’ll notice how these leaves have an extremely fine, serrated edge. The grey willow is very similar in appearance to the common goat willow. However, you can decipher between the two by looking at their leaves. The goat willow has long, thin leaves, whereas the grey willow has oval-shaped foliage with silver undersides. 22. Creeping Willow (Salix Repens)

Unfortunately, the corkscrew willow’s unique appearance comes at a cost. This tree only lives for 15 – 20 years and is highly susceptible to insect infestations. 7. Blue-Stem Willow (Salix Irrorata) If you’re unsure what this variety looks like, keep an eye out for its leaves. The white willow’s leaves are hairy when the tree is young, but as it gets older, the tops of the leaves are relatively hairless, but the undersides are still covered! 2. Goat Willow (Salix Caprea) You’ll most often find the flamingo willow as a lollipop tree in local garden centres in the UK. This sculpted shape makes it one of the best for small gardens or to flank a front door.Unlike many of the willows on this list, the tea-leaved willow most often takes shrub form. This willow is extremely hardy as it is known to grow anywhere with moist soil in its native region, northern Europe. These qualities make the scouler’s willow the perfect choice if your garden has a pond or stream or is prone to flooding. When it comes to how to identify a willow tree in winter, it’s all about the location. Willow trees typically grow beside rivers and lakes, making them easy to spot on a cold winter’s day.
