It is a deciduous shrub or small tree, reaching a height of 6-14 m, rarely to 20 m. The leaves are 5-12 cm long and from 3-8 cm wide, broader than most other willows. The flowers are down-like 3-7 cm long catkins in early spring. The seeds are very small (about 0.2 mm) and have fine hairs to aid in dispersal; they require bare soil to germinate. Goat Willow is at home in both wet environments, such as riverbanks, and drier sites, wherever bare soil is available. Unlike almost all other willows, Goat Willow does not take root readily from cuttings; if a willow resembling a Goat Willow does root, it is probably a hybrid with another species of willow (hybrid willows are very frequent).
