The Salix Alba Tristis is commonly known
as the Golden Weeping Willow or Golden Weeping Willow Tristis or Niobe
Golden Weeping Willow.
'Tristis' is a popular cultivar that is
often sold as the Golden Weeping Willow, the most common and perhaps hardiest
Salix Alba cultivars. Although its nomenclature is confused, it is
considered to be one of the best of the weeping willows.
It has one distinguishing characteristic,
the winter bark coloration. Throughout fall the younger stems and branches
turn from golden-yellow to a screaming bright yellow during the winter
months giving great ornamental interest.
The Golden Weeping Willow can become a
massive tree in time, growing 50 to 75 feet tall with beautiful weeping
branchlets that are suspended by thick, upright branches. The stringy,
pendulous branchlets are colored a bright straw yellow that is very prominent
in winter. The plant has the same liabilities as the species and often
sheds branches and limbs. For this reason, it is best sited away from structures
and placed in large spaces, such as adjacent to water features.
Although willows are generally not considered
to be good residential landscape trees, it should be noted that golden
weeping willow is one of the most popular of the weeping willows available
in commerce today. It has good specimen value because of its golden weeping
form. It may be used effectively in moist soils along streams, ponds or
other water bodies. It also can be used in low spots in the landscape where
other shrubs or small trees may falter, but can be high maintenance because
of its susceptibility to breakage, potential insect/disease problems, invasive
roots and litter potential.
