Fast Growing Willows

Willow trees have many uses in the landscape. The main uses are for fast growing windbreaks, privacy screens, and shade. Typically, the fastest growing willows are hybrid willows, because when two or more species cross, the result can be hybrid vigor. A good example of a willow hybrid with that hybrid vigor is the Bigfoot Hybrid Willow. This fast growing tree has been used for about any purpose where one needs the quickest growth.

There are other willows that grow fast, too. Some are hybrid willows and some are cultivars of fast growing willow species. A lot of the willows can also have ornamental features that add a lot of value to the landscape. Some of these quick growing trees have stems that color up the view or other fast growing willows have shapes that add different dimensions to the landscape, like weeping willows or snake willows.

Regarding the most common uses, when planting a windbreak or screen, willows will be planted at a close spacing. Typically these quick growing trees are spaced three feet apart. At these close spacings, the fast growing willows will quickly fill in vertically and horizontally, achieving in a few years what other trees take decades to do.

I offer many cultivars and hybrid willow selections that can fill your purpose you have in mind. I also offer some other fast growing trees that may interest you, too. Check my lineup of trees for more info.
