Description
outward-arching branches, early spring bloom (April before the foliage) of tiny white flowers in 3- to 5-flowered clusters. Narrow, sparsely-toothed, pale green leaves have a willow-like appearance. Foliage turns an undistinguished yellow in fall, but is sometimes tinged with interesting orange and bronze hues.
