Salix rubra ‘Harrisons’

Rubra is a natural hybrid with origins traced back to the UK and Europe. ‘Harrisons’ is a vigorous grower, producing long flexible rods that have been worked into basketry for over a century. With its ability to grow 6-9’ each season after coppicing, ‘Harrisons’ is a reliable and abundant source of material.

Dried rod color: Mid-dark Green to Brown

================

Uses:

• Valuable coarse basketry willow

• Great winter color for the garden or used in floral arrangements

• Good for living structures

• Prized in ornamental landscape

• Good for creating hedges or fedges

• When coppiced it provides lots of rods

• Great in summer floral arrangements

On our farm, we created exhibit gardens with groupings of willow varieties that work extremely well together. An example is pictured here that shows a grouping of “Harrisons" with “Britzensis" in late winter.
