COMMON QUESTIONS ANSWERED: Where is this located?: The Willamette Valley of Western Oregon. Zone 8a. Rainfall ~42“ per yr. What varieties of willow do you recommend?: (From Kara)“In the video you see: Salix alba vitellina, Salix purpurea, Salix daphnoides, and Salix fragilis (various varieties of each).
