{"product_id":"white-willow-salix-alba","title":"White Willow (Salix alba) seedling","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhite Willow is a fast-growing, moisture-loving tree with a long history of use in Western herbalism and a well-earned reputation as one of the hardest-working trees you can put on a homestead or piece of land. It establishes quickly, tolerates wet and boggy conditions that would kill most trees, and pulls triple duty as a windbreak, bank stabilizer, and source of flexible coppiced material for basketry and garden structures. The long silver-green leaves catch the light beautifully and the catkins are among the earliest pollen sources available to bees coming out of winter. A genuinely useful tree for anyone serious about productive, low-input land stewardship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLatin Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eSalix alba\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSite and Soil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to part shade; thrives in moist to wet soils\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePollination Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dioecious — male and female flowers on separate trees\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize at Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50–75' h x 40–60' w at full maturity; responds well to coppicing or pollarding if smaller size is desired\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePests \u0026amp; Diseases:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generally vigorous and hardy; some susceptibility to canker and rust in poorly sited conditions \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–8 (hardy throughout Georgia; performs best with access to consistent moisture)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Note on Siting:\u003c\/strong\u003e White Willow has an aggressive, moisture-seeking root system.
