Salix Vulpina F. Psilostachys

Psilostachys willow, scientifically known as Salix vulpina f. psilostachys, is a unique variant of the willow family native to the mountainous regions of western North America. This plant is distinguished by its compact growth habit and narrow, lance-shaped leaves that give it a striking appearance. It thrives in moist, well-drained soils and is often found in riparian zones and forested areas. Despite its small size, it plays an important ecological role in stabilizing soil and providing habitat for various wildlife species. Its ornamental value has also made it a popular choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant shrub.
