Also known as Gulf Black Willow or Swamp Willow, this fast-growing, deciduous tree grows 30 to 60 feet tall on single or multiple trunks topped by a spreading, rounded, sometimes irregular crown. Its fall color is variable, normally greenish-yellow. This tree can grow in full sun to partial shade, in moist to wet soils, and is flood and silt resistant. Its dark brown/black bark is soft and often food for deer, rabbits, beavers, and other such browsers. Black Willow is also a larval host to a number of butterfly and moth species.
