Narrative
Plants sampled in nature averaged 2.0-4.0 feet in height. Tallest of four specimens was 5 feet in height. Progeny grown from original seed collected in nature (17 May 2019) when grown in cultivation (NCRPIS - Ames, Iowa) showed substantial variation in leaf morphology. Out of 50 seedlings, seven specimens are likely hybrids (Salix x conifera). Growth habit appears to be relatively uniform: small-medium sized plants (e.g. less than 6-8'), multi-branched, wide-spreading shrubs with near horizontal branching occurring near the base.
