Willow Tree

(Salix spp.)

Willow trees are fast-growing, deciduous trees commonly found along pond shorelines and wetland areas. Their extensive root systems allow them to thrive in moist soils, but if left unmanaged, they can spread rapidly, restricting water access and outcompeting other native vegetation. Over time, dense stands of willows can become difficult to control. Larger specimens may need to be cut before herbicide application to ensure effective management and prevent regrowth.
