Narrative
In 1992, a plant evaluation trial executed at the NRCS Rose Lake PMC, Rose Lake, MI included one hundred twenty collections of various shrub-type willow species. Survival, height, spread, canopy width, and canopy density data were recorded. Riverbend Germplasm silky willow was selected for its excellent canopy density, growth, and overall appearance. It represents an unaltered selection of naturally occurring germplasm (Indiana source). This male clone is a tall, erect, multi-branched, native N. American shrub that grows to 3.5 meters tall and responds well to coppicing. Thick canopy of lanceolate, fine-toothed leaves that grow to 12.5 cm long and are dark green and smooth above, and glaucous (white) and sericeous (silky) beneath. Twigs are hairless, light green to brown in color and brittle at the base. Intended for use in streambank/shoreline restoration and riparian corridors.
