Notes/Description:
A small, thicket-forming, deciduous tree or shrub, 10-25' tall, that has a braod, rounded crown. It has an attractive, deep-green foliage and is well-suited for erosion control, wetland and meadow restoration and rehabilitation, vegetated swales and upland buffers for naturalized areas. Use this species as a riparian buffer to reduce stream bank erosion and help protect aquatic environments. Beb's willow has a high wildlife value and should be considered for habitat restorations.
