The main appeal of the dragon claw or corkscrew willow are its drooping, twisted, contorted twigs. They start out slender and olive-green in color and mature to gray-brown. Like the twigs, the leaves are often twisted. The bark is gray-brown, with diamond-shaped lenticels when the tree is young. The bark becomes shallowly fissured when mature. The shiny green foliage is simple, alternate, narrow, oval-shaped, and finely serrated.

Fuzzy pale yellow-green flowers (catkins) appear in early spring with the leaves.
