Also known as Kilmarnock Willow (Salix caprea 'Kilmarnock'), this compact, weeping tree is typically grafted onto a standard stem to form a tidy, umbrella-like shape. In early spring, it produces silky silver catkins, adding elegant texture and seasonal interest. Glossy, light green leaves follow, making it a standout feature for small gardens or containers—especially valued for its winter silhouette.

Salix does well in wet locations, providing it is well-drained. Has a compact form and can tolerate light shade.
