Salix Fulvopubescens Var. Doii

Golden willow, scientifically known as Salix fulvopubescens var. doii, is a unique and lesser-known species of willow native to the mountainous regions of China. This deciduous tree is distinguished by its golden-yellow foliage and delicate, feathery branches that sway gracefully in the breeze. It thrives in moist, well-drained soils and is often found along riverbanks and in forested areas. Despite its beauty, the golden willow remains relatively obscure in botanical literature and is rarely cultivated outside its natural habitat. Its ecological importance and ornamental value make it a fascinating subject for further study and conservation efforts.
