Overview
Laurel willow has dark, shiny leaves like a bay laurel and a thick, low branched crown that makes one of the densest single rows you can plant.
Origin & History
Native to northern Europe and Asia. A favorite farmstead screen in the cool, northern end of the plains.
Uses
Screens and shelter where there is moisture. It does best where summers are cool and struggles in hot, dry sites, where it gets cankers and dies young.
Growth Habit
Rounded, densely branched tree, 25 to 45 ft tall, often multi-stemmed.
Spacing
Plant 6 to 10 ft apart. A bundle of 25 covers 150 to 250 ft of row.
Pollination
Not a concern. Catkins feed early bees.
Cold hardiness
We rate laurel 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.
