Burgundy Desert Willow-5Gallon

Burgundy Desert Willow is prized for its ornamental beauty and drought tolerance. It typically grows 15 to 25 feet tall and wide, with a graceful, open canopy and narrow, willow-like leaves (despite not being a true willow). During late spring through fall, it produces deep burgundy to wine-colored trumpet-shaped flowers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies. This tree thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it ideal for xeriscaping and hot, arid climates. It’s also fast-growing, low-maintenance, and can be pruned to a multi-trunked or single-trunked form depending on landscaping preferences.

Typical Uses

• Container Planting (when young): Smaller trees can be grown in large pots for patios or small spaces, especially in climates with mild winters.
• Privacy Screening or Windbreaks: When planted in groups, it can form an attractive natural screen that offers partial privacy or wind protection.
• Wildlife Habitat Support: Frequently planted to attract pollinators, especially hummingbirds and bees, enhancing local biodiversity.
