Overview
Golden willow is the big yellow twigged willow around northern plains farmsteads and sloughs. It grows fast, branches low and lights up a winter yard.
Origin & History
A selection of European white willow, planted in prairie shelterbelts for more than a century.
Uses
Quick shelter and snow catch wherever there is moisture. Keep it away from septic lines and drain tile, and don't put it on dry upland.
Growth Habit
Broad, low branched tree, 45 ft tall, with slender golden twigs.
Spacing
Plant 8 to 12 ft apart. A bundle of 25 covers 200 to 300 ft of row.
Pollination
Not a concern. Early catkins are a first pollen and nectar source for bees.
Cold hardiness
We rate golden willow to zone 2, winters to -50°F.
How wholesale orders work
- Bundles can't be split. Sizes under 3 ft. come 25 to a bundle, 3 ft. and taller come 20 to a bundle.
- Price breaks count every Farm & Ranch bundle in your cart, any mix of plants. 4 bundles, 12 bundles and 24 bundles each drop the price on all of them. The discount shows up in your cart on its own.
- Add to your order any time before it ships. Same shipping address, and the bundles count together toward the next price break.
- No cancellations after February 1. Cancel part of an order before then and the rest is priced at the break it still earns.
- If we come up short on a plant, you keep the price break you paid for and we refund the bundles we couldn't send.
- Our dead plant guarantee covers these the same as everything else we sell. A plant that never leafs out its first season gets a credit code for what you paid for it plus its share of the shipping. We can't break a bundle, so credit goes toward a future order, not loose replacement plants.
