Synonyms[1]

Salix × rubra, the green-leaved willow or red osier, is a naturally occurring hybrid species of flowering plant in the family Salicaceae.[1][2] It is the result of crosses between Salix purpurea (purple willow) and Salix viminalis (common osier).[3] It is native to a large part of Europe, found where the parent species' ranges overlap.[1] The straight, flexible stems are prized by basketmakers.[4] There are a number of cultivars, with the fastigiate 'Eugenei' being the best known.[5]
