Salix vitellina 'Pendula Aurea' is characterized by its graceful form, with arching, wide-spreading branches that weep to the ground, adding to its visual appeal. Salix vitellina 'Pendula Aurea' has golden-yellow new branches that are covered with slender, soft-green leaves, adding to its beauty. It is an excellent choice as a shade tree for parks and paddocks and looks particularly great when planted next to water. During autumn, the leaves turn a golden-yellow color, adding to its seasonal interest. Salix vitellina is deciduous, not native to New Zealand, and a hybrid between Salix alba and Salix babylonica. The origin of Salix vitellina 'Pendula Aurea' is not certain, but it was put into commerce in 1888 by Späth nursery in Berlin, Germany.

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
