Re: woodyplants DIGEST V1 #178

Subject: Salix arenaria
Willows are confusing to start with; their nomenclature is even more
confused.
If you have what I think you have, it goes also under the name S. repens
ssp. repens or S. repens ssp. argentea, a creeping European willow, mostly a
coastal species if I remember correctly.
Its habit may range anywhere from "creeping" to 30 cm to 1.5 m in height,
depending on what provenance or cultivar you may have. You may have a good
decidous groundcover for all I know.
Some of uor European correspondents should be able to help out on this one.
