This fast growing, native willow species offers quick riparian habitat establishment. Reaching heights of 60', this species can provide great canopy cover.
Live stakes are dormant, live woody cuttings of a species with the branches trimmed off. Live staking performs an important function in creating a root mat that stabilizes the soil by reinforcing and binding soil particles together. Stake establishment also improves aesthetics and provides a habitat for wildlife. These are intended to be planted in large masses, encouraging the re-establishment of riparian vegetation.
