Salix chaenomeloides is a species of willow native to Japan, Korea, and China. [2] [3] The species was first described in 1938 by Arika Kimura. [4] [5]
They are deciduous trees, reaching heights of 10–20 m. [6] Trees are either male or female, [6] [7] and prefer moist or wet soils, [6] generally growing in or near water. [8]
The Seongju Gyeongsan-ri Seongbaek Forest (성주 경산리 성밖숲) is a Korean Natural Monument which protects a stand of these trees, in Seongju. [9] [10]
