Salix trees or Willow trees are a hugely diverse range: form very vigorous to very dwarf, with catkins, stem colour and variegated foliage. Most willow trees are quick and easy to grow and are very hardy. Hard pruning in early spring is recommended for willow trees grown for their winter stem colour.
