​Salix acutifolia 'Blue Streak'
basketry, landscape, floral, bee willow. This willow has violet- purple stems that turn to a blue chalky bloom in new growth, (this color will rub off- but if used as "green willow" will retain some of this spectacular blue antique hue on the least disturbed rods) The growing coppiced plants present with stunning color in the winter landscape, and has great potential as a winter landscape willow. A very flexible basket willow with great deep purple colour. It is not particularly productive for us, so it seems we never have enough of it. Beautiful snake like markings on the bark of older rods - use for bark harvest - extremely attractive silvery catkins -" precocious" - appearing before leaves ... so stunning as a cut flower ..and as specimen tree if not coppiced.
