Experiences planting willows

quizalot · 2014-01-13 19:45:19

Hi all, last spring I set some willows in a bog (not too wet- it is not water logged) and I am guessing that the salix alba will have proven the best among the species I planted. It's about 1.5 miles from the coast but is not too windswept. I also set salix fragilis and salix pentandra. Not sure how well these will survive…

Hi all,

I also set salix fragilis and salix pentandra. Not sure how well these will survive the conditions into their 2nd year. I wait and see

Any thoughts on nice looking willows you have set in peat that is easy to grow and hardy?

Cheers
