  • Question

    Is this Salix bebbiana? Found Cooperstown, NY.

    Answer

    SunnyMona, it certainly looks like Salix bebbiana, though I can't be 100% confident because there are some species that look very similar (e.g., Salix cinerea) that need specific parts of the plants photographed to separate these two (for example, Salix cinerea has ridges on the wood of the branches beneath the bark). That written, I think you are correct.
