fragilis f. Vitellina ‘Flame Yellow’

This is not a yellow-stemmed selection of the red Flame Willow. ‘Flame Yellow’ has perhaps the brightest lemon-yellow stems in summer of all willows, the rods turn orange in Autumn and red in winter. Stem color change is due to exposure sun, in the winter they get full sun and in summer the least, hence the darker color. Stem color is also brightest with hard pruning every 1-2 years. Grow in full sun to get best color, in moist or average soils. Hasn’t flowered for us yet as we coppice it yearly so it doesn’t get a chance to produce catkins (so we do not know if this is male or female)
