Description
w1-2' seedlings. Salix nigra is tolerant of high humidity and blooms from late winter to early spring. Its extensive roots effectively control erosion. Pruning, if necessary, should be done in late winter to early spring. The bark is initially dark brown, developing scales, grooves, and a rough texture as it ages (Missouri Botanical Garden). Twigs are slender with yellowish tips and reddish-brown bases (ISU). The leaves are medium to dark green, alternate, up to 6 inches long, tapering to a point, and turning greenish-yellow in fall. In early spring, small greenish-yellow flowers appear in 2-inch catkins, followed by small brownish-red capsules
