Curly willow (Salix matsudana 'Tortuosa') is a fast-growing, deciduous tree ideal for permaculture, valued for its rapid biomass production, easy propagation from cuttings, erosion control, and ornamental, twisted branches. Best grown in full sun and moist, well-drained soil, it can be coppiced annually to create hedges, provide fodder, or yield materials for woven crafts.
