Desert Willow Warren Jones

Description

This desert willow is open and airy as a small tree, and with age develops shaggy bark and twisting trunks. The flowers of the tree appear in spring and through the fall while the leaves will drop early. Pruning this 25' tree can make it very attractive. Flowers are a rich soft pink. This selection is a little more frost intolerant but also can often be more evergreen in mild situations. - Mountain States Nursery
