This willow is tall and narrow and not only excellent for flower arranging, but makes a beautiful upright focal point in the garden. It is a STRONG grower, but is a triploid hybrid, and sterile. It is a good candidate for a large pot with a constant tray of water under it. Can be coppiced hard. A good one for privacy screening, erosion control, and as part of a buffer planting. Absolutely a must to protect from herbivory until it gets large enough to cope with browsing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSource: \u003c\/strong\u003ecuttings from Vermont Willow Nursery (This is not a wholesale nursery - you can buy cuttings from them, too!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImage credits: \u003c\/strong\u003ecourtesy of Vermont Willow Nursery\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Honey Petal Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53339109622067,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/6115\/8195\/files\/images-1_68e64dbd-b1cb-4afa-89bd-72d655092f95.jpg?v=1788106578","url":"https:\/\/honeypetalplants.com\/products\/salix-caprea-x-cinerea-showtime-goat-willow-hybrid","provider":"Honey Petal Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
