Salix daphnoides Details

Salix daphnoides, commonly known as the Violet Willow, is a deciduous tree grown for its impressive flowers. Before the foliage emerges in late winter, male trees produce a showy display of cream coloured, woolly flowers (catkins). Female trees produce smaller, greenish catkins. The display is both unusual and extraordinary. The foliage comprises bright green leaves, which age to dark green, then develop yellow tones in autumn before falling. It can grow to 7 m tall and 4 m wide but is often trimmed to sizes much less than this. This tree performs best in full sun or partial shade on soils that remain consistently moist. It will tolerate frost and cool climates but does not do well with extended dry periods. Salix daphnoides is commonly planted around water features, to provide winter interest, or as a feature in a mixed planting.
