When yellow-grey catkins sprout on the Kilmarnock Willow’s exposed weeping branches, you know spring has arrived in your garden. The Salix caprea ‘Kilmarnock’ is a tiny deciduous tree that forms an excellent architectural showpiece. The weeping branches produce a dense, spherical dome that holds its shape throughout time. In the autumn, the green summer foliage turns gold, before the stems go naked once more, revealing a beautiful winter silhouette. Kilmarnock Willow is an excellent choice for rockeries, borders, and patio containers. It’s a good choice for a wildlife area because it supplies early nectar for insects. Height and spread: 2.5m (98″).
Growing Information
Grow Salix in a sunny or partially shaded position, in any well drained soil.
