Common Name: Sandbar Willow

Sandbar Willow is a tall, narrow shrub or small tree, typically reaching 6 to 22 feet, and is commonly found along riverbanks, lakeshores, and wet ditches. It colonizes quickly via rhizomes and is a critical species for stabilizing streambanks and controlling erosion in wet environments. The slender leaves and flexible stems make it a distinctive willow in riparian habitats. It is frequently used in ecological restoration and bioengineering projects due to its rapid growth and soil-holding abilities.

Planting Information

Dig a hole in your planting site slightly larger than the plant’s root system. When placing the plant into the hole, ensure that the soil line remains consistent with its original level in the pot. Fill in around the roots with the excavated soil, gently firming it to eliminate air pockets. Water the plant thoroughly the same day to promote successful establishment.
