  Peachleaf Willow
Peachleaf willow is the largest of many willows of the western prairies, and it is often the only large native tree on the prairies other than the cottonwood.
Peachleaf willow only spreads by seeds, which puts it at a disadvantage to foreign willow trees that can propagate from roots or even bits of growing twigs that have snapped off and fallen into streams and floods and been carried away to moist soil.
Peachleaf willow bark is smooth when young; pale gray or reddish brown to very dark brown or dark gray and deeply furrowed and cracked into ridges or thin loose plates on older trees.
