Salix alba 'Tristis Golden'
Choose Golden Weeping Willow if you have a large, wet area and want quick shade with a weeping shape. The tradeoff is space: keep it well away from buildings, pipes, septic areas, and tight lawns.
Buy This If
- You have room to spare.
- Your site stays damp.
- You want shade quickly.
Skip This If
- You need a tidy patio tree.
- Utilities or pipes are nearby.
- The planting area is narrow.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | The weeping habit and golden stems make this tree a strong focal point on open ground. |
| Growth Rate | A+ | This is one of the faster ways to get shade and scale in a landscape. |
| Maintenance | C | Expect branch cleanup, leaf drop, and more management than a slower-growing shade tree. |
| Deer Resistance | C- | Deer readily browse and rub young trees like this, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | F | Its roots, canopy, and branch spread need far more room than most small yards can give. |
| Screening Value | B- | It can block views when leafed out, but it is not a tight evergreen screen. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this only when the site is big and damp enough. If the planting spot is near hardscape, utilities, or septic, we would steer you to a different tree.

Customers Usually Ask
Can I plant it near my house?
No, give this tree a large open area away from foundations, drains, and buried utilities.
Is it good for wet ground?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons to choose it.
Is it a clean shade tree?
No, expect leaves, twigs, and occasional branch cleanup.
Why buy a shade tree in the fall
- Warm soil, cool air — roots establish before winter
- Delivered large on our own trucks, not shipped bare root
- Real shade in years, not decades
Locally grown for New England conditions
