Willow (Salix) is known for its elegant branches, soft spring catkins and natural association with water and wet ground.
Irish name: Saileach
Willow has long been part of Irish landscapes and folklore, often found near rivers, lakes and damp meadows. It is a fast-growing tree that brings softness, movement and ecological value to the land.
