Willow (Salix) – Mature & Bare Root Trees

Willow (Salix) is a fast-growing and versatile tree, recognised for its slender branches, attractive foliage and natural, graceful appearance.

Willow trees are particularly well suited to damp or wet ground and are a popular choice for larger gardens, woodland planting, screening and landscaping projects. They also provide valuable habitat and an early source of food for wildlife.

Chedington Compost supplies Willow trees in a choice of bare root and rootball sizes, including larger specimens for projects where greater immediate impact is required.

Willows are vigorous trees that thrive in moist conditions and work particularly well in open landscapes, wet woodland and larger planting schemes. Their fast growth also makes them useful where screening or a more established landscape is required.

Why Choose Willow Trees?

  • Fast growing: Ideal where quicker establishment and landscape impact are required.
  • Suitable for wet ground: Willow thrives in damp and moisture-retentive soils.
  • Excellent for screening: Vigorous growth makes Willow useful for larger natural screens and boundaries.
  • Wildlife friendly: Early catkins provide an important source of nectar and pollen for bees and other insects.
  • Versatile planting: Suitable for larger gardens, woodland, ecological planting and landscaping projects.

Where to Plant Willow Trees

Willow trees are best suited to spacious gardens, open landscapes and areas with moist or wet soil. As many Willow varieties grow quickly and can become substantial trees, allow plenty of room for them to develop.

Choose Your Root Type

Our Willow (Salix) trees are available in two root formats, so you can choose the option that best suits your planting season, project and budget.

Bare Root Willow Trees

Available seasonally, typically from November to March, bare root Willow trees are field-grown and lifted during dormancy with their roots exposed and soil-free.

They offer a cost-effective choice for woodland planting, wet ground, larger landscaping schemes and projects where several trees are required.

Rootball Willow Trees

Rootball Willow trees are supplied with a firm ball of soil retained around the roots and wrapped in hessian for protection during lifting and transport.

This format is particularly suitable for larger, more established trees and landscaping projects where greater immediate impact is required.

Available Sizes & Girth

Our Willow trees are graded by girth (trunk circumference), a standard method used for established landscape trees. Girth provides a useful indication of the maturity and structure of the tree, helping you choose the right size for your planting project.

Girth (cm)

7-10cm Rootball, 16-20cm Rootball, 20-25cm Rootball, 7-10cm Bare Root
