Peach-Leaf Willow (Salix amygdaloides) is a fast-growing native deciduous tree well adapted to wet soils and riparian environments. It typically grows 35–50 feet tall with gracefully weeping branches, giving it a soft, natural form well suited to streambanks, lakeshores, floodplains, and low-lying sites.
This species plays an important role in erosion control, thanks to its extensive root system that helps stabilize soil in areas with fluctuating water levels. Like other members of the Salix genus, Peach-Leaf Willow produces early spring catkins that provide nectar and pollen for bees and other beneficial insects at a time when few other plants are in bloom.
Its yellowish-green foliage adds seasonal texture and movement to the landscape, while its rapid growth makes it a valuable option for restoration projects, wildlife habitat plantings, and large naturalized areas.
