Rare native willow adaptable of northern climates and riversides. Used for "diamond willow wood," a coveted material for carving due to the diamond-shaped fissures that divide the bark and the contrasting red heartwood and white sapwood. Fuzzy spring catkins are vital for early emerging pollinators. Great for site restoration, bank stabilization and erosion control, wetland buffers and riparian plantings. Large shrub or small shrubby tree.
