'Contorta' is a large deciduous shrub with twisted branches bearing broadly ovate leaves and dropping yellow male catkins in late winter and early spring
It is a deciduous, rounded, multi-trunked shrub and features, as the cultivar name suggests, twisted and spiraling branches, twigs and leaves. This shrub is particularly noted for its winter beauty (contorted branches are best observed in winter when the foliage is absent plus late winter flowers add interest to the landscape) and is an ideal plant for the floral arrangements.
