Our RHS Grey Sallow (Salix Cinerea) is a large native deciduous hedge that can reach to 3 meters in height with stems up to 20cm. It is a rounded-- bushy shape with multiple stems spreading out at-- or near ground level. The bark is deeply fissured and greyish-brown in colour with grey-green branches-- giving a splendid display .The abundant yellow flowers appear just before the leaves open in spring. They are about 1.5 cm. long-- opening to reveal numerous white stamens tipped with yellow pollen. The female flowers are more upright and develop thicker pale green carpels which receive the pollen. The male catkins are silver at first-- turning yellow when pollen is realised; female catkins are greenish-grey maturing in early summer.
Cell Grown Willow-- Sallow and Osier hedges come with the benefit of container grown plants but the price is nearer the bare root price. The plants come with their root systems intact-- whereas bare root plants can lose the tiny fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that they will become more established quicker than bare root. They can also be planted into warm soils when roots are active-- outside the dormant period. Whereas the bare root season ends between April to September-- September-- October-- March April and May are ideal months for planting cell grown plants. Infact-- unlike bare root-- you can plant cell grown plants throughout the year as long as the roots are kept moist. That is why 60 of the worlds forestry trees are now cell grown
