Plant Description

Genus of about 300 species of deciduous trees and shrubs, generally dioecious, present in a variety of habitats ranging from meadows, river banks, sand dunes to hills throughout the world, with the exception of Australia. Salix alba is a deciduous tree with an erect habit up to 10-12 m tall with a spreading crown and very rapid growth. Young twigs have grey-green 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. The reddish-green bark cracks in adult specimens.

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.
