<p>Golden Weeping Willow 'Tristis'

Golden Weeping Willow (Salix alba 'Tristis'). Salix alba 'Tristis' is the archetypal classic weeping willow, known for its long, pendulous branches and fine, light green foliage that turns golden in autumn. Vigorous, hardy, and fast-growing, it thrives in fresh to moist soils. It makes a spectacular solitary statement, especially by water or in a park, where its graceful and romantic form creates a calming and poetic atmosphere. The indicated mature size is 20 to 25 m (66 to 82 feet) in height and 8 m (26 feet) in width.

To plant a Golden Weeping Willow 'Tristis', choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is as follows: slightly acidic to neutral, fresh to moist, well-drained. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check soil moisture by hand before watering again. Spread mulch around the base, leaving the collar clear. Avoid systematic fertilizer applications without considering the soil's richness. In Quebec, choose a period when the soil is thawed and easy to work.

Allow a width of 8 m (26 feet) when planning this plant's placement in the garden. The indicated height of 20 to 25 m (66 to 82 feet) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Associate this variety with plants whose light and water requirements are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
