Normally the plant prefers cool and moist soil. The bark is grey-brown, and deeply fissured in older trees. The shoots in the typical species are grey-brown to green-brown. Leaves Leaves are paler than most other willows, due to a covering of very fine, silky white hairs, in particular on the underside. They are 5-10 cm long and 0.5-1.5 cm wide, deciduous, alternate, and commonly elongated and serrated or smooth. Elongated leaves are green on the upper side and whitish on the bottom side. Color of the leaves may changes seasonally. Leaves turn from green to yellow in the autumn. Flower & Fruit This is a dioecious species, with flowering catkins appearing on separate male and female trees in May. Male catkins 4-5 cm long are somewhat showy, having tiny flowers with yellowish anthers and two stamens. Female catkins are smaller about 3-4 cm long and non-showy, with greenish flowers. When mature in midsummer, the female catkins comprise numerous small (4 mm) capsules, each containing numerous minute seeds surrounded in white down, which aids wind dispersal.
