Question
Hello! The photos attached are all from the same willow plant found in a wetland on our property in Stowe, VT. The catkins have a rosy hue. Unfortunately, I do not have photos of the leaves as I just noticed the plant. Is there anyway to tell from the photos if this a native species, or even to identify the specific species? If not, what can I look for when this plant leafs out in order to ID? Thank you!
Answer
Dear laurie.r, good morning. It is too early in the development of the flowering aments to determine who the willow species is. If you can get some later specimens when they are in full flower with some measurements of the length of the catkins, I may be able to assist then. Best wishes.
