Salix purpurea8-10' We grew these plants from cuttings we got from basketmaker Johnny Suderman in Ontario. He describes the plant as having long non-branching purplish-red rods with blue-green leaves. When he soaks them for basketmaking, the stems turn “dark grey with some purple-red.” This is his favorite willow for baskets. Once established, you can coppice it annually for a perpetual source of basketmaking material. Z4. (1-2') NEW!
