Golden Willow (Salix alba var. Vitellina) is a unique variety of White Willow that boasts striking yellow-orange new growth branches. Native to Europe, Southern Africa, and Western Asia, this tree thrives near water sources in pure or mixed stands on various moist soils. Temperate and warm climates suit it well. The Golden Willow's distinctive appearance comes from its pollarding, where new branches are harvested annually or biennially for basketry use. This practice also creates a striking silhouette that becomes a winter landscape feature, with the vibrant branches standing out against a snowy backdrop.
