Abstract
A comprehensive survey of willows (genus Salix), extending from tiny Alpine and Arctic plants to the huge specimen trees found in water meadows, including essential botanical distinguishing features and a comprehensive glossary. The opening sections of the book cover the origin and global distribution of willows. The management and cultivation of willows is extensively detailed and the author addresses himself to an international readership. A range of willows for specific sites - such as ornamental trees for large or small gardens and tiny willows for sink gardens - has been selected with basic information on their management as well as concise discussions and illustrations of the origin, hardiness, growth rate and outstanding features of each.
