Salix alba subsp. vitellina 'Britzensis' is typically grown for its winter bark. It has remarkable orange-scarlet stems and twigs, which last all winter. It's easy to grow and maintain. It's perfect for adding colour to the winter garden and looks particularly good when planted in groups. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
Grow Salix alba subsp. vitellina 'Britzensis' in moist soil in full sun. Prune back hard in spring to encourage fresh new growth, which develops the best winter colouring.
