Abstract

Many willow species occur in Great Britain. Some are only small creeping forms, like Salix repens, others are only shrubs. Some, like S. triandra and S. alba var. vitellina, are grown as osiers. Of the tree species, S. alba var. coerulea is grown for its timber, which is used to make cricket bats. S. × chrysocoma is the common weeping willow much grown in parks and gardens. The Japanese S. matsudana var. tortuosa is among the introduced species and varieties also now planted in gardens.
