  • Question

    I am planting a pollinator friendly flowerbed with a RFP and have funding to buy 2-shrubs for the space. I want: Salix occidentalis or dwarf upland willow. I think it is the right size and the right plant for the space, however, I cannot find 2- or 1 to purchase. Can you suggest a vendor or send a link to a nursery with this species for sale? The space is a public area on NYC Parks property. Any assistance is appreciated.

    Answer

    Dear CQ4CATS11, I'm sorry, I cannot suggest a vendor. I don't typically see Salix occidentalis offered by anyone. You will likely have to secure this species yourself from the wild if you want to plant it. Good luck.
