Austree Australian Willow: Now being called the American Willow. All we can say is WOW Awesome
Austree.
Fasting growing tree in America. Our first one grew 8 feet per year for 3 years. It has slowed down
some since we started using it to propagate hybrids.

Austree Hybrid is the
"result of 30 years of selective breeding" in New
Zealand. These trees are used for "conservation, noise and dust
barriers, shade trees, hedges, privacy screens, windbreaks and erosion
control." They also note that "the hybrid vigor of this tree is substantial."

My research indicates that the Austree  is a cross between Hankow or Pekin willow (Salix matsudana) and
white  willow (Salix alba). The white willow is native to North America and the  Hankow willow is native to
China and Korea. Usually when plant breeders  create a hybrid it's to combine the best characteristics of
each  parent. Hybrids also result in a seedless specimen, therefore the tree can  only be reproduced
through careful stem cuttings and propagation.

Austree Awesome Australian Tree-fastest growing tree in America
Did we tell you This is the "fastest growing tree in America".
Do you want a tree that will/is:
* Fast Growing (3-6 feet a year)
* Versatile
* Hardy
* Instant Shade
* Thrives in almost any soil
* Very Adaptable Tree
* Will grow in every U.S. State Common to Zones 3-8.
Found growing in Florida to Canada
* Wind and soil erosion protection
* Save on your heating costs for your home by blocking the winds.
* Save on your cooling costs for your home by providing shade.
* Block out  Nosey or Noisy neighbors with a living inexpensive fence

The Austrees are extremely hardy and will grow under almost any condition.
To get them to grow very fast, you need give them plenty of water. They will
tolerate partial shade and if you don't give them plenty of water they will still
grow a couple feet a year.
In the 1970’s, the AUSTREE (originated in Australia) was cultivated as a hybrid
between white willow and Salix matsudana, resulting in a male Hybrid: Salix
matsudana x Alba. Austrees were developed by a Govt. Dept. in Australia to
find a solution for shelter belts, landscaping, erosion, salinity control, pulp
and firewood production, etc. And it was accomplished

They were then imported by a New Zealand farmer’s as a wind break to
protect orchards. They were only introduced into San Francisco USA in the
mid 1980’s for the same purpose and then also later used throughout
California as fire breaks. Many Midwest farmers started growing them to use
as windbreaks around apple orchards to replace the old Poplar trees.
Livestock farmers are now using them as an odor break on their farms. For
Years these were Patented and hard to find and very expensive.
Erosion control on river banks and slopes. Plant to
create an instant forest setting below. (3 year trees)
I brought a small twig with me when I moved from California to
Missouri. I had to keep it potted for a couple of years, so it stayed
small. I planted one AUSTREE when I moved into my new house 4
years ago. When I planted it in the ground it took off like crazy, it
was only about a foot tall it now rises above my home and is nearly
35 feet tall with weeping branches that are nearly 4-5 feet long.
We now have several growing on the property.
The Austrees are the first to leaf out in the spring and one of the
last trees to loose their leaves. A Nice ornamental. As with most
willow Trees never plant them near water or sewer lines. Once
established, they will grow fine through a drought year like the one
we had here in Missouri last year (2007).

If you want to make your windbreaks or hedges thicker, give your
trees a good pruning, it won’t hurt them. Never prune more than
1/3 of the growth. You can prune this variety anytime of the year.
The Austree has leaves very simular to the weeping
willow but this one does not weep, it grows straight up
in a hurry and gently weeps as the limbs grow larger.

Need something that will grow FAST to block out those
noisy neighbors? Need to block a large area in a
hurry?

YOU NEED AN Austree!! This Willow grows up to 6+ ft.
per year – filling out to create a luscious green wall.
Excellent privacy screen. It also makes an effective
wind barrier, noise barrier and a quick, inexpensive
fence.

Mature Height: 35-45 ft & Width: 5-6 ft planted in rows
5 feet apart. 50-75 ft & Width: 20-30 ft planted as a
single specimen. These will live up to 70 or more
years. The growth rate slows down at about age 10,
like most trees.
NOW finally they are available as a living fence or single specimen for home owners.
of water and sun.

The ideal conditions are a loose soil. They will grow in heavy clay or rocky soil types, but
the growth rate will be slower. So it is best to amend the soil  before planting any tree, if
your soil conditions are poor.
Good for Pulp and timber productions and capable of fast regeneration without replanting.
The very flexible branches are used in furniture making, many craft projects and basket
weaving. The young branches can even be braided to make a wreath.
Fast forest to generate good Ol’ firewood. You are only limited by your imagination.
You will receive well-rooted tree, started from good sized stem propagation.
Cold hardy to zone 3/5 (-25 degrees F)
