Description Reviews

Black Willow Tree (Salix nigra) 

Black Willow Tree: Salix nigra, or the black willow tree, is part of a large family of deciduous trees and shrubs. These species are hardy, fast-growing, and thrive in almost every USDA growing zone. In fact, this tree grows well from Maine to Texas and at nearly every point in between.

Like most in the willow family, the black willow tree prefers the moderately moist, fertile soils surrounding swamps, bogs, ponds, river banks, and other wet locations.

TN Nursery recommends the black willow tree for customers who have consistently moist areas--or even places suffering from water erosion. The black willow's strong and sprawling root system will help retain soil in these challenging conditions.

When you plant this tree, find a full sun or a partially sunny location that will retain sufficient moisture. This species makes an outstanding addition to any water garden. 

The Black Willow Trees Unique Appearance

The name of the black willow signifies the tree's bark color, which is such a deep brown that it appears black in hue. As the black willow tree matures, it develops a rough texture, well-defined grooves, and shaggy scales. The branches are long, slender, and have a gentle droopiness. The tree's crown is full, usually forms an attractive, slightly asymmetrical shape, and can grow as tall as a hundred feet. 

Dainty yellow blossoms appear in the early spring and bloom for several weeks. They give way to light green leaves. The leaves are thin, narrow--tapering to a tip--and have finely toothed edges. Each leaf measures as long as six inches. In autumn, the leaves generally turn pale to medium yellow.
