This guide is for gardeners looking to add a unique, ornamental tree to their landscape. The Salix matsudana Tortuosa, or Dragon's Claw Willow, offers a striking visual appeal with its twisted branches and interesting form, providing year-round interest. However, it requires well-drained soil and full sun to thrive, making it unsuitable for all garden environments.

It can reach a height of 6 meters and a spread of 3 meters. Plant it with enough space to accommodate its mature size.
It prefers moist, well-drained soil. Amend heavy clay soils with compost to improve drainage.
Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the tree and enhance the twisting effect.
Water regularly, especially during dry periods, until the tree is established.
It can be susceptible to some diseases and pests. Regular inspection and proper care can help prevent problems.
While possible, it is not recommended long-term due to its mature size. Choose a very large container and be prepared for frequent repotting.
May indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Ensure the soil is well-drained and adjust watering accordingly.
Could be a sign of disease or pest infestation. Prune away affected branches and consider treating with an appropriate fungicide or insecticide if necessary.
Check soil conditions. Ensure the tree receives full sun and is fertilized regularly. Consider adding compost to the soil to improve fertility and drainage.
