The Willow genus (Salix).

Finding out what Willow species you are dealing with.

A number of willow species is easily recognized: the Corkscrew willow and the weaping willow. Most species however are hard to determinate. When the tree is really large it is often the white willow or the crack/brittle willow (Salix fragilis), or a hybrid of the two. I'd like to point to this Dutch willow-key which is not easy I am afraid. In the future I hope to make a key myself.

All species photographed.

Unknown willow, probably white willow, Salix alba or brittle willow, Salix fragilix.
