Salix alba Purple Needs acidic to neutralThis British native, growing wild in the southern regions, is a simple yet very attractive tree. Its flexible branches move in the wind and together with the silvery leaves they create a stunning shimmering effect. Willows are fast growers and heavy drinkers meaning they can easily be coppiced pollarded and planted near water. Tolerates coastal sites. Great for wildlife. H7
