A hybrid between S. caprea and S. cinerea. Often mistakenly called S. dsicolor in N.Z., and has also been confused with S. caprea.
Habit: Shrub or small tree, 6-12 m high, with several upright stems arising from a short trunk.
Catkins: Male only in N.Z.; catkins abundant, broad-oblong, 2-3.5 cm long, produced before the leaves.
Often planted as an ornamental for its abundant showy silver catkins, which also make it a good source of pollen for bees. Variable in its characteristics but generally differs from S. cinerea in having larger leaves with more pointed tips. S. caprea, which is rare in N.Z., has grey leaves persistently hairy below and no striations below the bark.
