Corkscrew willow at Bing Nursery School. Sairus Patel, 26 Nov 2022
Very curly branches, after leaf drop, form attractive decorations that can be bought from local florists. After enjoying your arrangement, pop a branchlet into moist ground and make a tree of your own. A small group stands in the Bing Nursery School yard, west of the building. Some of them are of the ‘Golden Curls’ variety, with twisted golden twigs. A corkscrew willow in the lane between 834 and 836 Santa Fe Avenue died in 2004.
