Planting

"Before growing this tree, you should know where to plant curly willow. Corkscrew willow is suitable for growing in USDA plant hardiness zones 4 through 8. The tree develops a short root system that remains near the surface of the soil, so it should be planted a safe distance from buildings, driveways, sidewalks and sewer lines. Plant curly willow anytime during spring or summer. Curly willow isn’t fussy about soil and adapts to clay, loam or sand. Similarly, it tolerates either sun or partial shade. However, ideal conditions for this tree are well-drained, moist soil and full sunlight. Corkscrew Willow Care For the most part, corkscrew willow care is minimal, but the tree likes moisture. Water regularly during the first year, then water generously during periods of hot, dry weather. A 2- to 3-inch (5-8 cm.) layer of mulch will help keep the soil moist, helps keep weeds in check, and protect the trunk from damage by weed trimmers and lawnmowers. However, leave a few inches (8 cm.) of bare ground around the base of the tree, as mulch that piles up against the trunk can attract a variety of pests."
