Salix gooddingii

 Salix gooddingii (Goodding's black willow) ( )

Salicaceae

  • Black willow is tree with a prominent main trunk. It has leaves with a similar green color on both surfaces. It can be a large tree and reach heights up to 100 feet. This is a riparian willow that forms riparian thickets. Willows lose their leaves during winter months. While it may seem strange to have such moisture-loving species in the desert, the presence of a relatively permanent flow or groundwater pool of available freshwater provides conditions well suited for growth. So long as water is available, high summer temperatures present little or no threat.  "California Desert Plants, Philip W Runder, Robert J Gustafson, Michael E Kauffmann."
