This tree is probably a hybrid between white and crack willow as it has some of the characteristics of both and they easily hyridize. 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. Crack willow is a more spreading tree. It sleaves are hairless when mature. In both species the male catkins have two stamens per flower.
