Silky Willow (NRCS) - 12"

#1 Shrub for Screening

An erect multi-branched native shrub.  Used for bedding cover, screens and stream bank stabilization.

Silky Willow has (2) traits no other willow we've ever found has:

• Unlike the 40+ other willows we've tested the Silky Willow is very deer browse tolerant.  And because of its multi-stemmed growth habit, it isn't a favorite for rubbing either.
• Leaves hold even slightly longer than Dappled Willow see the pictures for proof.

Riverbend Germplasm - Silky Willow is a NRCS release to provide a known native willow to land managers.
