Hi,
I know Salix caprea is a native Irish willow but I was wondering if the kilmarnock weeping version of it was native and if so what wildlife benefits might it have?
thanks  |

Kilmarnock is a random mutation of S. Caprea, which was found in Kilmarnock, then is grafted onto a straight S.caprea rootstock. In terms of wildlife value, it is exactly the same as the wild strain, only smaller. |
