5 Black Willow Tree 12" Salix nigra Bare Root Live Plant

Black Willow (Salix nigra) is a fast-growing deciduous tree native to North America, prized for its graceful form and slender leaves. This listing offers five bare root plants, each approximately 12 inches tall, ready to establish in moist settings. Its quick growth and tolerance for wet soil make it a practical choice for naturalized areas and streambank plantings.
This willow adapts well to rain gardens, pond margins, and other damp locations where its roots help with soil stabilization. The fine-textured foliage and upright habit provide a soft backdrop in the landscape, and the wood is traditionally used for crafting. Harvest stems for weaving or allow the tree to develop its full canopy.
