Pacific willow Salix lasiandra
Pacific willow is the tallest of the native willows. Given ample moisture, it grows abundantly and can quickly become established to anchor soil at the base of a slope. Pacific willow grows very well from cuttings, although the wood is somewhat brittle and live stakes may split if pounded vigorously. (Sound Native Plants)
