Narrative
A plant evaluation was executed at the Natural Resources Conservation Service Plant Materials Center, Corvallis, OR testing 105 clones or collections comprising at least eight native willow species. As one of 22 sources of Sitka willows tested, 'Plumas' was chosen for its higher basal stem density, upright growth habit, and rapid initial growth rate. 'Plumas' can withstand prolonged if not indefinite soil saturation and flooding. 'Plumas' Sitka willow is a medium to large shrub that grows to a height of 10 to 23 ft depending on the site. Mature shrubs that are well spaced and grown in full sun are typically multi-stemmed, open, and predominately upright in form. Young twigs are red, brown, or green while the bark of older limbs is gray and smooth. 'Plumas' is a male clone and flowers in late March or April forming about the same time as the foliage. Primary use for streambank stabilization of low velocity streams. Adapted to poorly drained to well drained soils in inland areas of the Cascade Mountains in western Oregon and western Washington to the Pacific coastline, as well as northwestern California and the Sierra Nevada Mountains and foothills at or below elevations of 1,500 feet. Released by USDA-NRCS in 1988 in cooperation with the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station and Washington Agricultural Research Center.
