Plant Description

Salix caprea, commonly called goat willow, is a charming deciduous shrub or small willow tree native to Europe. This attractive species stands out with its broad, rounded leaves and a dense branching habit. Gardeners appreciate its early spring catkins, which are among the first signs of new growth and add ornamental value before the leaves fully emerge.

The Salix caprea species features fuzzy, silvery catkins that transform into yellow and green as they mature. This catkin bearing willow is often found in natural landscapes and garden settings due to its adaptability and graceful form. Its bark is smooth and grey, complementing the soft texture of its foliage, making it an appealing choice for wildlife gardens.

  • Produces early spring catkins with a fuzzy texture

Known as the European willow, this species offers both ornamental and ecological benefits. The Salix caprea enriches any garden with its delicate yet robust appearance.
