wolf willow, a native shrub with blue green leaves

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

wolf willow, a native shrub with blue green leaves. a nitrogen fixing, non invasive alternative to some of the other notorious suspects in this genus. here I've cold stratified the seeds for three months from jan though march, and then are about two months from planting, our greenhouse gets frost at night though april so the cold oscillation can help finish off the cold conditioning to get the seeds to germinate.
