Re: Salix sp.
Looks like it's weeping. Habit photo?

No habit photo, but we figured it out today while doing our annual collections inventory.

Re: Salix acutifolia 'Blue Streak'
'Pendulifolia' is sold down here. Mine produces drooping shoots on the edges. 'Blue Streak' is an AGM plant, that I may not have seen listed in North American commerce, that I would like to try. Was the UBC specimen imported by UBC?

Ron, our source for this plant was Hadlow College of Agriculture and Horticulture in Kent, UK.

Re: Salix acutifolia 'Blue Streak'
Just as I suspected: sent from England. Maybe it should be propagated and put into B.C. commerce.
