Narrative
Bayberry willow is native to areas of the northeastern U.S. and north into Canada, localized around the Great Lakes region. Known to occur on shorelines/dunes but also in swamps, fens, and on talus (Haines 2004) with the potential to reach six meters in height (Dorn 1995). Ornamental characteristics include glaucous lower leaf blades that appear chalky white. Staminate flowering occurs before or during leaf expansion with purple-turning-yellow anthers (Haines 2004). This accession represents a large amount of phenotypic variability observed at the time of collection. This included variation in leaf size, shape, margins and presence of stipules. All plants sampled have very glaucus undersides of the leaves.
