Comments: What an eye-catching specimen tree to have at the entry to the Hibbard Campus Center! Look at the twisting branching patterns this willow tree creates and it is easy to understand how its common name came about. This tree fits well into the landscape island and fills the space nicely. A fine conversation piece to have outside the President’s Dining Room as people adjourn to the outdoors. This ornamental willow is a fast grower as are all willow trees.
