Overview
Sharpleaf willow is an upright willow with narrow leaves and purple twigs dusted with a white bloom. It handles drier ground than golden or laurel willow.
Origin & History
Native to Russia and central Asia. Tested and used in Canadian and northern plains shelterbelts.
Uses
A quick middle row, snow fence plantings and early spring pollen. Big silver catkins open before almost anything else blooms.
Growth Habit
Upright small tree or large shrub, 20 to 30 ft tall.
Spacing
Plant 6 to 10 ft apart. A bundle of 25 covers 150 to 250 ft of row.
Pollination
Not a concern. Catkins are a first food for bees.
Cold hardiness
We rate sharpleaf willow to zone 3, winters to -40°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.
