Coastal plain willow (Salix caroliniana)

The coastal plain willow (Salix caroliniana) is a willow species that can reach heights of up to 6 meters. In spring, its flexible stems produce clusters of small yellow flowers, attracting numerous pollinators such as butterflies and bees. The branches are versatile and can be used for weaving baskets, creating fences, and various other crafts. This willow species thrives in wet, boggy environments and can endure some salt exposure, though it cannot survive complete submersion.
