Salix alba, commonly known as ‘White Willow’, is a vigorous, tough hedge tree. This native tree grows well in moist and even boggy locations. With its slender, graceful branches an d beautiful silver leaves, it will create the most amazing ornamental willow hedgerows. It will produce pale yellow catkins in early spring and in autumn the leaves will turn yellow before being shed. Plant in full or partial sun, willows don’t do well in the shade. They thrive in wet or poorly-drained soil and are often found at the edges of pools, lakes and rivers. It is a thirsty plant that soaks up moisture from its wide-spreading root system, it is therefore also recommended not to plant it too close to buildings. Show more
