Salix interior
Salix interior, commonly known as sandbar willow or interior willow, is a native deciduous shrub with a spreading, suckering habit, particularly suited to moist soils and riparian environments. Vigorous and colonizing, it forms dense stands thanks to its flexible, slender stems adorned with narrow, light green leaves. In spring, before the leaves fully emerge, it produces discreet catkins that contribute to the feeding of early pollinators. Salix interior is recognized for its exceptional ability to stabilize banks, control erosion, and rapidly establish itself in sandy or alluvial soils. It prefers full sun and tolerates waterlogged or periodically flooded soils very well. Ideal for renaturalization projects, it plays an important ecological role in northern landscapes.
