Nice capture of a golden willow. They too loose their leaves... eventually.

I've always want one of these in my garden but hubby said the root will cause problems. Anyway, this is nice, very warm-ist in colour.

Thanks Izzie. Not sure about the root problem but I noticed that even in summer the grass beneath never greens. The surface area seems relatively flat so I don't if the roots spread out or grow vertically.

The roots are extremely invasive. They have no trouble getting into your sewer pipes, storm water drains etc. If you find one growing on a river bank, you will see that the ground under the tree is 'spongy' - that's all its own rootwork. We use them to soak up the water in areas that don't have drainage for household waste etc; or in boggy ground. They make good stock feed, too. I planted one on a small rural property I had, and the geese kept the branches neatly trimmed to about a metre above the ground - as high as their necks could stretch.

+1. I had 2-3 in my back yard and was forever cleaning out septic and storm drain pipes. But they are beautiful.

Nice shot, though, John.

Thanks for sharing.
