Description
Sekka is a large, rounded, deciduous, multi-stemmed shrub which typically grows 10-15′ tall with an upright, spreading habit. It is an all-male cultivar which is most noted for its flattened and contorted branchlets which are sometimes used in floral arrangements. Silvery-gray, 1.5″ long male catkins with yellow anthers appear along reddish-purple stems in early spring before the foliage emerges. Narrow, lance-shaped leaves (to 2″ long) are bright green above and silvery green below.
