Kilmarnock

Kilmarnock Weeping Willow (Salix caprea) is a distinctive ornamental willow appreciated for its elegant weeping habit and early spring catkins.

From a young age, the branches become covered with attractive catkins that provide a valuable early nectar and pollen source for bees and other pollinating insects.

This compact weeping tree generally reaches around 3 metres in height and 2 metres in spread, depending on the graft height and pruning. Regular pruning can be used to keep the tree smaller, renew the young wood and maintain a lighter, fresher appearance.

Our Kilmarnock willows are supplied grafted on a stem, with the weeping head grafted at the top. We may prune the head before dispatch to make packing easier and to encourage good establishment after planting.
