− | The '''Bay Willow''' (''Salix pentandra'') is a [[willow]] native to northern [[Europe]] and northern [[Asia]]. It is a large [[shrub]] or small [[tree]] growing to 14 m tall (rarely to 17 m), usually growing in wet, boggy ground. The [[Leaf|leaves]] are glossy dark green, 5-12 cm long and 2-5 cm broad, with a finely serrated margin. The [[plant sexuality|dioecious]] [[flower]]s are [[catkin]]s, produced in late spring after the leaves; the male catkins are yellow, 2-5 cm long, the female catkins greenish, 1.5-3 cm long; they are pollinated by bees. The [[fruit]] is a small [[capsule (fruit)|capsule]] containing numerous minute [[seed]]s embedded in white down which aids wind dispersal.

− | The name derives from the resemblance of the leaves to those of the [[Bay Laurel]]; other common names include '''Bay-leaved Willow''' and '''Laurel Willow'''. Its glossy leaves make it more decorative than many other willows, and it is often planted as an [[ornamental tree]]. It has become [[naturalisation (biology)|naturalised]] in northern [[North America]].
