Salix babylonica f. tortuosa 'Darts Snake' is a beautiful twisted, curly willow tree with dark jade green branches, and bright green foliage. Has yellow catkins. Will grow 20 ft – 30 ft, and is more hardy than other twisted willow varieties. Its unique branches make colourful winter arrangements when mixed with other curly willows (such as the Sunny Twist Curly Willow, and the Red Curly Willow). Darts Snake's weeping habit makes it also a lovely specimen, and shade tree in the garden.
