Genus of about 300 species of deciduous trees and shrubs, generally dioecious, present in a variety of habitats ranging from meadows, to river banks, to sand dunes to hills throughout the world, with the exception of Australia. Salix fragilis x alba is a natural hybrid between these two species with an erect and spreading habit and very rapid growth. Young branches are very fragile with grey-greenish bark. The lanceolate, serrated leaves are light green on the upper surface, silvery white on the lower surface and are up to 15 cm long.

Pedoclimatic requirements

It loves sunny positions; it does not fear the cold and tolerates very intense and prolonged frosts without problems. Constant and regular watering, they fear drought a lot, in fact, they are often planted near lakes or watercourses, in constantly wet soils. They prefer rich and deep soils, not excessively draining; they can often be planted in places where many other essences would suffer, or where the water stagnates and the soil is constantly soaked.
