Salix matsudana 'Tortuosa'
Corkscrew hankow willow

Twisting in loose spirals reminiscent of a corkscrew, these yellow-green stems are partially covered in a soft white pubescence when young. By the end of the first year they have turned to olive-green or greenish-brown and glabrous. With maturity they turn grayish brown.
