Salix acutifolia 'Blue Streak'

Salix acutifolia 'Blue Streak' is a beautiful willow that grows quickly, eventually creating a huge deciduous shrub. The blue-black stems are sprinkled with a unique white bloom in the spring, producing a lovely contrast with the upward-pointing silvery catkins. For damp soils, Salix acutifolia 'Blue Streak' is a good choice. It can be pollarded to reduce its size if necessary. Also, the slender foliage that follows is blue-green and pendulous, creating a lovely arching show that turns golden in the fall. Height and spread: 5m (16?).
