Product Description

10 Violet Willow / Salix Daphnoides 3-4ft, 80-120cm

 

These are BARE ROOTED plants which can be planted from the end of October until April and will be dispatched as soon as the weather turns cold and they become dormant.The dispatch date depends on the Autumn temperature and varies from year to year.

 

The Violet Willow is a medium spreading tree which is usually coppiced for the colour of its young stems. The young shoots, which can grow up to 2.5m in a season, are purple, with a whitish powdery bloom in winter.

 

The leaves of Violet willow are oblong or narrowly obovate, 7-12 cm long and 2-3 cm wide. At first they are thinly woolly but soon become glabrous, dark green and lustrous above and glaucous below. Catkins appear before the leaves in February and March and are short, cylindrical and dense about 2-4 cm long and 0.8-1.8 cm wide. Female catkins are shorter and less decorative than the male

    Second order from this company

    Posted by Miss Kathleen Speirs on 14th Feb 2017

    Bare root stock arrived promptly. At the moment they look like sticks but, I know from previous products purchased from this nursery that in a few weeks I will have leafy plants. I am sure that this is not the last time that I will order stock since I have a more or less untouched plot to fill.
