Salix - Willows

Salicaceae

Our Salix

Comprising some 300 species, this genus provides sufficient possibilities for a wide variety of tasks. In addition to purely practical shrubs, there are decorative varieties with attractive catkins and others with colourful shoots or bizarre, ornamental branching. Salix species are dioecious; numerous varieties flower conspicuously before the leaves shoot. Only the male flowers develop into furry, silvery shimmering catkins that turn yellow when opening with their numerous stamen, giving off a balsamic, sweet fragrance. The female catkins remain an inconspicuous grey-green.
