White willow has a rugged back and the twigs do not break readily as in Crack willow. It is common on rich lowland soils near streams or in wet woodland. It is often planted. The leaves are hairy toothed and sliver grey when mature. The male catkins have two stamens per flower. Picture taken February 2006 at Bromham, Bedfordshire.
