- Despite its sorrowful association, the 'Kilmarnock' willow brings joy and elegance to any space.
- Features soft, fluffy catkins in early spring, followed by vibrant green leaves on gracefully drooping branches.
- Discovered on a Scottish riverbank, it thrives in damp soil, making it perfect for wetter parts of the garden or near ponds.
- A hardy, low-maintenance tree that reaches a compact height of around 2.5m, ideal for patios and small gardens.
- Recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society as a 'Plant for Pollinators', attracting bees and other beneficial insects.
- Its signature weeping habit develops beautifully as the tree matures.
