Willow—Salix spp.
Plant Identification
Willows are deciduous trees or shrubs with
invasive roots. The weeping willow is most common; shrub
types are used more for their colorful buds or catkins, stems,
or contorted shape.
Optimum conditions for growth
Willows do best in full sun with ample water.
They can tolerate almost any soil type and any climate zone.
