  • Appearance: Shining willow is known for its shiny, glossy leaves, which are lance-shaped and finely toothed along the edges. The leaves are typically dark green on the upper surface and lighter beneath.
  • Size: It generally grows as a shrub but can reach small tree proportions, ranging from 3 to 20 feet (1 to 6 meters) in height.
    Habitat: Shining willow is commonly found in a variety of habitats, including wetlands, streambanks, and moist woods. It has a preference for areas with ample sunlight.
  • Catkins: Like many willow species, shining willow produces catkins. These are cylindrical clusters of flowers that appear in early spring before the leaves emerge. Willows are often dioecious, meaning there are separate male and female plants.
  • Distribution: The species is native to North America and is found in various regions, including parts of the United States and Canada.
  • Wildlife Importance: Shining willow provides habitat and food for various wildlife species. The catkins are a source of early-season food for insects, and the shrub contributes to the biodiversity of riparian ecosystems.

Care Instructions

Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
