The pistillate catkins of Bebb willow are distinctive in each ovary being borne from a long pedicel (note the whitish reticulate-vein undersurface of the leaf).

Bebb Willow

Salix bebbiana

Bebb Willow (Salix bebbiana) is a landscape plant valued for its form and structure as much as its bloom. It reaches roughly 12 ft at maturity and blooms in mid spring. Match it to full sun to part shade and keep the root zone consistently moist. One caveat: like any plant, its published range is a guideline, not a guarantee, for the specific microclimate of your yard. Given a spot that matches its light and water needs, it is a dependable, low-drama addition to the yard.
