Salix alba var. vitellina 'Britzensis' Yellow The fruits and young shootsThis colourful cultivar of willow is a wondeful firecracker in the winter garden, its young twigs strikingly orange red to pure red, giving it an almost luminous appearance. Pleasing bark with deep ridges. Does well in most areas, including paved and exposed sites. Can withstand temporary flooding once established. Reacts very well to pruning. H7
