Salix 'Forbiana' Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses 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]. An exceptionally vigorous and fast-growing plant[50]. 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]. A hybrid of garden origin, probably involving S. atrocinerea x S. purpurea x S. viminalis[50]. Only female forms of this hybrid are known[50], but occasional male flowers are produced in the lower scales[11]. Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus[200]. Dioecious. Male and female plants must be grown if seed is required. For further Salix 'Forbiana' gardening information |
