Navajo Peking Willow
The Navajo Peking Willow, Salix matsudana 'Navajo', is also known as Globe Willow because of its distinctly round form. The tree looks as if it's been sheared into a perfect ball. It is well known for its fast growth and adaptability to a wide range of soil conditions. This is one Willow that can take drought, so it is popular in hot and drier areas. Fast growth and weak wood mean that the plant should be pruned regularly to avoid breakups in wind storms. The flowers are catkins produced early in the spring. It is a species of willow native to northwestern China. ... get more information
