The White Willow, also known as Salix, exhibits a robust hardiness with an H6 rating, indicating its ability to withstand various environmental conditions. Its blooms feature green and yellow catkins, adorning the landscape during the spring season. Reaching an eventual height and spread of 12m x 8m, this deciduous tree flourishes when placed in full sun. Its foliage undergoes seasonal changes, with green leaves in spring and summer transitioning to yellow in autumn, ultimately shedding in winter. Characterised by its fast-growing and unfussy habit, the White Willow belongs to the Salicaceae family and emanates a refreshing minty fragrance. Thriving in moist or wet soil, it's advisable to avoid planting near buildings due to its extensive root system, which has a high water uptake capacity, affecting the surrounding area.
