There are over 400 types of willow trees and shrubs. However, some are more suitable for our colder climate than others. Let’s explore 19 types of willow trees perfect for the UK garden without further ado! 1.

Weeping Willow (Salix Babylonica) In stark contrast, the creeping willow is a trailing push. It only reaches up to around 1 metre in height, but it can spread to around 2 metres wide. The scouler’s willow is a “riparian species” – this is special, as it has been specifically adapted to grow beside riverbanks, streams, lakes, and other bodies of water due to its ability to control erosion and prevent water runoff.

The peachleaf willow, also known as the almond leaf willow, is a North American native willow. This plant gained its name from its long, thin, green-yellow leaves, which look similar to the foliage of peach and almond trees. It’s this quality that helps to distinguish the peachleaf willow from other willow varieties. This is a relatively small willow variety that grows slowly, making it perfect for smaller gardens or a small spot in a larger garden. While this plant isn’t a British native, it is extremely hardy, allowing it to cope with the harsh UK winters. This tree is the perfect solution if you want a tree with an interesting appearance in winter but with a longer lifespan than the corkscrew willow. The almond willow can live for up to 50 years so long as you give it moist, well-drained soil and place it near a body of water. 19. Tea-Leaved Willow (Salix Phylicifolia)

However, you can decipher between the two by looking at their leaves. The goat willow has long, thin leaves, whereas the grey willow has oval-shaped foliage with silver undersides. 22. Creeping Willow (Salix Repens) Like most willows, the yellow willow loves wetter habitats, such as beside a lake, stream, or river. However, they also make an excellent natural hedge or screen. Simply repeatedly chop it down, and this will encourage it to grow in a bushy formation rather than as long, spindly branches. 12. Eared Willow (Salix Aurita) The bebb willow can either be a deciduous shrub or small tree and typically grows between 1.5 and 7 metres tall. However, this plant is native to Canada and the northern US, so it may not grow to such lofty heights over here in the UK.If you’re unsure what this variety looks like, keep an eye out for its leaves. The white willow’s leaves are hairy when the tree is young, but as it gets older, the tops of the leaves are relatively hairless, but the undersides are still covered! 2.

These catkins appear just before it sprouts spring leaves, normally in March or April. The tea-leaved willow tends to be a British wild plant, but it is available as a garden plant, too.
