The White Willow is a lovely subject for water-side plantings.

Our native White Willow is a lovely subject for water-side plantings.

Very prominent in our fenland landscape surrounding the nursery, it reacts well to regular pollarding where size becomes an issue.

A fast growing, large, conical tree with slender branches which droop at the tips.

The leaves give a characteristically silver appearance from a distance.

Catkins are borne in spring.

Although it is good in wet soils and will tolerate temporary flooding, it thrives in most soils, and is a fine choice for coastal areas.

Mature height: 20m+
