Salix alba
Salix alba is one of the largest species of willow, capable of reaching an approximate height of 25 metres and a spread of 8 metres at maturity. The leaves are slender and pointed, up to 10 centimetres in length. They are green on top and have a blue-green, silky texture on the underside from their silvery-white hairs. This gives the tree a pale appearance from a distance, hence its common name, White Willow. Yellow and green catkins are produced in early spring, with male and female catkins growing on separate trees. As a deciduous tree, its leaves turn yellow in autumn before falling.
The White Willow is native to the UK and thrives in full sun but can also tolerate high levels of moisture, making it suitable for soils with poor drainage.
