3 Silky Willow Tree 12" Salix Salicacae Bare Root

Silky Willow is a graceful deciduous tree or large shrub noted for its narrow, silvery-green foliage and slender, flexible stems that lend a soft, shimmering texture to the landscape. Its upright-to-spreading habit and rapid growth make it a striking vertical accent in gardens, along ponds, or in mixed borders.

This willow works well as a specimen tree, in hedgerows, or in rain gardens and other moisture-rich settings. Its fine-textured leaves and gently weeping form offer season-long ornamental interest, while the pliable young stems have traditionally been used in basketry and craft work. It is a vigorous grower that responds well to periodic pruning.
