Salix caprea pendula 'Kilmarnock'- 120cm std (Kilmarnock Willow)

Kilmarnock Willow. A charming, dwarf weeping willow, popular and much loved in its native Ayrshire. First introduced by Mr Lang, Nurseryman of Kilmarnock around 1850. Mr Lang had originally purchased a few specimens from James Smith of Monkwood, an eminent botanist of the time, who claimed to have found it growing wild on the banks of the River Ayr. This is an ideal patio or lawn specimen, its heavy pendulous branches form a beautiful umbrella shape which provides great architectural interest in winter. In spring the new catkins cascade gold and silver making a stunning display and also perfect for cut flower arrangements.
