(Scouler Willow)
Family: Salicaceae
Status: Native
Synonyms:

Salix scouleriana is an upper elevation tree with ovate leaves that are acute at the apex. It does not
have the look of our other willows, nor does it live at the side of flowing water. It is found in mixed
conifer forests in open areas. Its catkins give it away as a willow.
