Grow your own Vitellina golden willow from 10 dormant cuttings, hand-cut from our own coppiced stools in Blountville, Tennessee.

Vitellina (Salix alba var. vitellina) is the classic golden willow: a fast, vigorous grower with large, strong, flexible rods. Stems glow bright yellow to orange through winter after the leaves drop, and dried rods turn orange, a warm accent color in basketry.

This is our most vigorous variety. Our second-year stools put up roughly 10 ft rods, about 20 rods per stool. Those big rods make Vitellina a top choice for living willow structures: fedges, arches, tunnels and domes.

Every bundle is cut from our own stools, not resold stock.

GOOD FOR:

- Living willow: fedges, arches, tunnels, and domes

- Landscaping: hedges, screens, and bright winter stem color

- Weaving: color accents and larger basketry work

- Floral: cut branches for arrangements

- Wet spots: pond edges, ditches, and low ground

PLANT WITH CARE:

Vitellina grows into a large tree if it is not cut back. Coppice it every year or two to keep it as a stool or structure. Its roots are aggressive, so plant it well away from septic systems, drain lines, and foundations.
