Goldie Locks

[Driftless]

This Curly Willow is hanging on to her golden mane tightly. She will lose it soon with all the cold weather and wind in the forecast.

Salix matsudana or (Chinese Willow) is a willow native to northeastern China. It does not grow naturally in Wisconsin. It is one of the first to bud in the spring and one of the last to give up its leaves in fall.

This Cork Screw Willow is holding tight to her Golden Mane but, she will soon lose those "Goldie Locks" because of upcoming cold and wind.

Goldie Locks can be found by the St. Phillips Cemetery near Rolling Ground. This is the first Cork Screw Willow I have ever seen in my life.

This tree needs to be babied its first couple years of existence. It was odd to find it in the sumac and the weeds about 20 yards from the cemetery.
