Salix cinerea - Grey Willow
Salix cinerea - Grey willow or sallow is a small, native deciduous tree with an eventual height taller than Eared willow but shorter than Goat willow. Common across much of the UK often growing in wet habitats. It is a very tough species and thrives on poor, neglected ground.
Deciduous with oval like green leaves and silky grey catkins that appear in January and turn yellow in March.
As with most willow, it has a very high ecological value and provides a valuable source of nectar for bees and birds.
