Willows are the earliest flowering tree in most of North America, providing abundant pollen and nectar for bees that leave the hive in search of food early in the year.


Please note: Many Willows flower better on 2-3 year branches or older. The exceptions are the early flowering varieties that flower equally well on previous years' growth as on older wood. 


What you are getting: 5-10" dormant stem cuttings from the previous years growth. Planting instructions are included with each collection.

Special Instructions

 


PLEASE NOTE: These will all be available after April 15, 2017 for immediate planting.
