Hooker's willow

Overview

Hooker's willow (Salix hookeriana) is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree native to the Rocky Mountains. With its smooth bark and slightly weeping habit, this willow is a great choice for mountain vistas and natural landscaping. The green foliage turns golden in the fall, and in the winter, the twisted branches offer visual interest. Flowering takes place in the spring, with fragrant yellow-green catkins. Hooker's willow can grow in a variety of soils, from dry to moist, and prefers full sun to part shade. It is also tolerant of severe cold temperatures and is a tough and resilient species.
