[The Willows of Mt. Adams]

Scouler's Willow

Salix scouleriana

The photo above shows Scouler's willow as seen at about 4100' at a DNR rock quarry at the southeastern corner of Mt. Adams............June 12, 2005. Seen at a number of drier sites on the south and southeastern sides of Mt. Adams, this species can develop a fairly thick trunk and attain heights of 20' and more. I have yet to see any of this species flower this season.
