Salix triandra, commonly known as Almond Willow or Almond-leaved Willow, is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to riparian zones, wet meadows, and floodplains across Europe and Western and Central Asia. It typically grows to a height of up to 33 feet (10 meters) and is characterized by its slender branches and elongated, lance-shaped leaves that resemble those of an almond tree. The bark is smooth and gray-brown, becoming fissured with age. In spring, it produces catkins that are yellowish-green, with male and female flowers on separate plants. The flowers are not particularly showy, but they are valuable for pollinators.

Almond Willow is valued for its fast growth and adaptability to wet conditions, making it suitable for erosion control along waterways. It is also used in basketry and as a source of charcoal for artists. In cultivation, it requires consistently moist soil and full sun to part shade. It is relatively low maintenance but can be susceptible to willow anthracnose and other fungal diseases. Regular pruning may be necessary to maintain its shape and promote healthy growth. Due to its potential invasiveness, it should not be planted where it can spread into natural waterways outside its native range.CC BY-SA 4.0
