Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in most soils, including wet, ill-drained or intermittantly flooded soils[1, 11], but prefers a damp, heavy soil in a sunny position[200]. Rarely thrives on chalk[200]. Tolerates poor soils[199]. Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus[200]. Although the flowers are produced in catkins early in the year, they are pollinated by bees and other insects rather than by the wind[11]. This hybrid is a male clone[11]. Cultivated as a basket willow in Europe[11]. Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus[200].
