Narrative
Salix pellita in New Hampshire is currently (2019) ranked as Endangered (S1). Only nine populations are known (2024-2025 reconnaissance) along the upper courses of the Connecticut and Adroscoggin watersheds essentially following the border of Vermont and New Hampshire. This site was strategically targeted due to the presence of a susbtantial number of male specimens marked during flowering. Majority of other populations known either lack males completely or are represented by an extremely low percentage. This accession was collected as cuttings and represents a collection of 20 male and 20 female genotypes. Mature specimens at collection site ranged from 1.0-2.5 meters in height.
