There are not many Golden Leafed Willow cultivars to get. I have a couple different ones that I am testing so far.

Japanese Angelica Tree
Japanese Angelica Tree is one of my thorniest plants on the Oasis. Thorns are practically everywhere on this plant.
Kristy D European Cranberrybush
Kristy D has been an attractive cultivar of the European Cranberrybush. The leaves show good variegation for this Viburnum.
Georgia Bush Honeysuckle
Georgia Bush Honeysuckle is a hardy, low-growing bush. This cultivar is known as Troja Black and has darker leaves.
Red Elderberry
Red Elderberry is a new species I have added to the Oasis. I have also tried the Blue Elderberry, which has struggled in my climate. The native Iowa one that grows everywhere is the American Elderberry.
Chinese Prickly Ash
This shrub is closely related to the native Prickly Ash. The different species in the genus have compound leaves and thorny stems.
Pokeweed Fruit
Pokeweed is a large perennial which fruits for a long period in late summer. These berries are commonly consumed by birds.
Mexican Sunflower
Mexican Sunflower has been a fast growing plant in my flower garden. This flowering annual has started to produce a lot of small flowers.
Salt Cedar Flowers
Salt Cedar attracts a lot of insects to its flowers. This shrubby tree is considered invasive in some west parts of the country, but behaved mostly elsewhere.
Seaberry Fruit
My seedling Seaberries have been ripening their fruit. The fruit is very small, but has an interesting citrus flavor.
