What: A rugged, fast-growing shade tree with exceptionally glossy dark green leaves, Salix pentandra features a rounded form and outstanding adaptability to both wet and dry conditions. Its distinctive laurel-like foliage turns yellow in fall.
Best use: Excellent for windbreaks, screening, and shelterbelts in prairie landscapes due to its extreme hardiness and fast growth rate. Best planted away from foundations, sewers, and water lines due to its aggressive root system.
