White Willow is a willow in the genus Salix. The Northwest Nursery Co. described it as a hardy prairie shelter and timber tree, not as a fruit cultivar. The catalog says it seems “right at home in Dakota and Montana,” and recommends it for large farm plantings in North Dakota. [S1]
The nursery based its claim on a shelter planting on Getchell Prairie, eight miles north of Valley City, North Dakota. The planting was about half a mile long, a few rods wide, about twenty years old, and more than fifty feet high. [S1]
The catalog valued White Willow for wind and snow protection, shade, fence posts, and timber. It urged North Dakota farmers to plant it by the thousands as a dependable shelterbelt and utility tree for the northern Great Plains. [S1]
The available source gives no edible fruit traits, parentage, breeder, release date, or zone rating. Its hardiness is supported by nursery testimony from Dakota and Montana planting conditions, not by formal cold zone language. [S1]
