Russian Golden Willow is described in a Northwest Nursery Co. catalog as a hardy willow for prairie shelter planting, not as a fruit cultivar. The catalog lists it with forest, shade, and shelterbelt trees for Valley City, North Dakota. It recommends the willow for snow fences, shelter belts, and windbreaks [S1].
The source gives no breeder, parentage, release date, accession number, or species-level taxonomy. Its value is practical. The nursery says it was still the most widely planted willow for snow fencing near shelter belts, and that demand remained strong because it had performed well [S1].
The description focuses on growth and use, not botanical detail. Russian Golden Willow is said to make a close, fast-growing screen or planting, and to be valuable for windbreaks [S1]. The entry is truncated and continues onto the next page, so the supplied evidence does not preserve details on fruit, flowers, bark color, mature size, or habit [S1].
Hardiness is supported by context, not direct zone language. The catalog page is tied to Valley City, North Dakota, and to nursery recommendations for the northwestern prairie region. It does not give a hardiness zone or winter survival statement for Russian Golden Willow [S1].
The supplied source does not identify Russian Golden Willow as a fruiting perennial for human use. In Pomologica, this record is best treated as shelterbelt and landscape context unless later sources document edible fruit relevance or a specific taxonomic identity.
