Product Code:  SAAL15

Our RHS White Willow hedges are fast-growing deciduous native hedges with narrow silver-backed leaves. The name derives from the white tone to the undersides of the leaves. The hedge can shimmer in the wind providing movement and colour to a garden. It is fast growing (up to 2 ft per year). The bark is grey-brown and deeply fissured in older hedges. The leaves are superb; paler than most other willows, due to a covering of very fine silky white hairs, particularly on the underside. The flowers are produced in catkins in early spring, and pollinated by insects.

Complete Product Information for White Willow (Salix Alba) Pack of 15 Cell Grown 20-40cm
Our RHS White Willow hedges are fast-growing deciduous native hedges with narrow silver-backed leaves. The name derives from the white tone to the undersides of the leaves. The hedge can shimmer in the wind providing movement and colour to a garden. It is fast growing (up to 2 ft per year). The bark is grey-brown and deeply fissured in older hedges. The leaves are superb; paler than most other willows, due to a covering of very fine silky white hairs, particularly on the underside. The flowers are produced in catkins in early spring, and pollinated by insects.

This hedge is suitable for use in sea areas, and is often found by water. The Roots can bind soil and help prevent erosion. It is hardy and thrives in most soils and positions, but prefers sun.

It will grow to an approx height of 15m-25m. The wood has been used for rough baskets and hurdles and burns rapidly. The leaves are browsed by animals, particularly horses and need protection when small. This hedge is especially useful for rapidly growing windbreaks and screens.

Cell Grown 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!
