Salix × sepulcralis 'Chrysocoma', or Weeping Golden Willow[1], is the most popular and widely grown weeping tree in the warm temperate regions of the world.

This particular cultivar is easily distinguished from the other Golden Weeping Willow (S. × sepulcralis) by its androgynous catkins.

Twigs very slender, at first thinly subadpressed pubescent, soon becoming glabrous.

Catkins appearing with the leaves in April, terminal on very short, spreading, leafy, lateral shoots, peduncle and rhachis softly villose.
