Not sure what you are asking about. What is Auss trees hybrid willows? Is this an Australian hybrid willow? Do you have a botanical name that starts with Salix?

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

Newt:

"You see these hybrids advertised under different names such as the Austree, Ausstree, Aussie Tree and Ameri-Willow. The tree is a cross between the Salix matsudana and Salix alba, also known as Willow Hybrid."

I just rcv'd a brochure in the mail on this - that's the extent of my knowledge, now you can take it from here Smile

We bought 3 of them 4 years ago out of the brochure. They are very pretty, tall (fast growers), not a heavy canopy. You have to trim the bottom limbs and keep the lower limbs cleaned up so you will be able to walk under them if you are using them as shade trees. We think they are worth the money. Takes lots of water the first year so be prepaired.
