Description

BLACK WILLOW

Black Willow is a fast growing deciduous tree thriving in moist to wet soils in full sun. The root system is great for stabilizing soil and preventing erosion, best not to plant near water and sewer lines. They naturally occur in floodplains along rivers and streams and in swampy areas. A great early season pollen source, this ecologically valuable native tree is larval host to 386 species of butterflies and moths in our area.
