Imagine 600 willows from the United Kingdom, Russia, Poland and North America! This willow collection -- now the nation’s largest--was assembled in 1999 and 2000 by Yulia A. Kuzovkina-Eischen PhD for her research project exploring the adaptability of the Salix species to urban stress and ornamental qualities.
The willow collection features Ohio and European species in colorfully stemmed varieties in red, purple and gold. Don't miss the early spring display of the willow blooms with their signature fuzzy catkins. The Giant Japanese Pussy Willow boasts the largest catkins -- the size of small rabbit feet.
