Drummond willow is an Idaho native shrub reaching 12’ at maturity with a canopy width of 15’. It’s commonly found in mountainous portions of Idaho, especially on steep, stony-lined streams. It grows in moist sands and gravel and requires a minimum of 20-25” of annual precipitation if not on a perennial stream. Drummond willow is recommended for erosion control, riparian site restoration and wildlife habitat. Willow pollen is an important food source for honeybees in the spring.
