]]> Salix interior forms natural hybrids with S. eriocephala. Controlled pollinations using Salix interior from Southern Ontario (A. Mosseler 1990, New Brunswick, Canada) successfully produced F1 hybrids with S. eriocephala; this is one of the progeny. We received cuttings of this hybrid from Salix Master Extraordinaire, George Argus of Ontario. It is a male selection and grows lustily and there are no signs of it spreading as does S. interior. It has elegant leaves and makes a tall slender plant. Like S. eriocephala it has stipules at the base of the leaves, whereas S. interior does not. This was a deliberate cross made in New Brunswick, Canada by Mosselar as he had been given the task of developing willows to be planted on the waste from Coal Mining operations.
