'''''Salix amygdaloides''''' ('''Peachleaf Willow''') is a species of [[willow]] native to southern [[Canada]] and the [[United States]].<ref name=grin>Germplasm Resources Information Network: [http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?70589 ''Salix amygdaloides'']</ref>
| name = ''Salix amygdaloides''

| common_names = Peachleaf Willow

It is a small to medium-sized [[deciduous]] [[tree]], growing to 4–20 m tall; besides the [[Populus sect. Aegiros|cottonwood]]s it is the largest tree native on the [[prairie]]s. It has a single trunk, or sometimes several shorter trunks. The [[leaf|leaves]] are lanceolate, 3-13&nbsp;cm long and 1-4&nbsp;cm wide, yellowish green with a pale, whitish underside and a finely serrated margin. The [[flower]]s are yellow [[catkin]]s, 3-8&nbsp;cm long, produced in the spring with the leaves. The reddish-yellow [[fruit]] matures in late spring or early summer, the individual capsules 4-6&nbsp;mm long.<ref name=bc>Plants of British Columbia: [http://linnet.geog.ubc.ca/Atlas/Atlas.aspx?sciname=Salix+amygdaloides ''Salix amygdaloides'']</ref><ref name=npwrc>Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center: [http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/plants/vascplnt/species/samy.htm ''Salix amygdaloides'']</ref>

The Peachleaf Willow grows very quickly, but is short-lived. It can only spread by [[seed]]s, whereas most other willows can [[plant propagation|propagate]] from roots or snapped bits of twig.
