Product Description

5 Salix Fragilis / Crack Willow, 3-4ft Tall, One of  Largest Native Willows

 

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 crack willow is named after the sound made when its branches and twigs fall. Salix fragilis is a medium-sized to large deciduous tree, which grows rapidly to 10–25m. The bark is dark grey-brown, coarsely fissured in older trees.

 

Salix are deciduous shrubs and trees of diverse habit, with simple leaves and tiny flowers in catkins, male and female usually on separate plants. Some are valued for their brightly coloured winter shoots, others for their foliage or showy male catkins
