Description

Salix hookeriana is a shrub or tree growing up to 8 m (26 ft) tall, sometimes forming bushy colonial thickets. The leaves are up to 11 cm long, generally oval in shape, wavy along the edges, and hairy to woolly in texture with shiny upper surfaces.

The inflorescence is a catkin of flowers up to 9 cm long, with the female catkins growing longer as the fruits develop.

This willow may hybridize with similar species.
