Description

‘Salix alba’ otherwise known as White Willow or Huntingdon Willow.

A valuable tree that offers early nectar and pollen for bees and other pollinators at the beginning of Spring, and the branches make good nesting and roosting sites for birds.

Willows are prized for their slender, flexible stems, which have been used for many years to weave baskets and ‘cribs’ for animal food. Larger stems were traditionally used to make small sailing boats.
