Silky Willow Live Stakes

Salix sericea, silky willow live stakes, is a plant that thrives in riparian areas where water levels can vary significantly over the course of a year. It is for this reason that the plant has such excellent reliability in high runoff, flood, or saturation areas where other plantings fail. Once established, dormant cuttings quickly emerge from dormancy and begin to root in the ground. The roots also help hold soil in place and slow water flow. This process will help reduce washouts over time and decrease the amount of sediment lost to erosion.
