Is loam acidic or alkaline?
It is generally somewhat acidic but it depends on the geology and climate. In deserts, you often get poor drainage and most of the water comes from below. That tends to make it alkaline. Where there is much organic mater and good drainage and plentiful rain, it tends to be somewhat acidic..

Do corkscrew willows prefer acidic soils?
Yes and no. What the corkscrew willow tree [Salix matsudana 'Tortuosa'] prefers is well drained soil. So if the soil has good drainage, and there's no other environmental stress, then the tree can handle a range of soils. Specifically, it's capable of growing in clayey, loamy or sandy soils. It's capable of handling soil pH levels that are acidic or alkaline. But the key here is good drainage.
