These include loss of habitat, invasive species, pesticides, toxic chemicals, pollution, cat predation, decrease in insect prey numbers, climate change, disease and death resulting from man-made obstacles like wind turbines and impact with windows of buildings during migration. As a result, nearly 15 per cent of native bird species are at risk of extinction.

Landscape Basics 2 Gallon (7.5L) Hand-Woven Braided Willow Tree

The Braided Willow is a stunning ornamental plant that is known for its unique curved stems, and eyecatching braided pattern which supports a crown of foliage. Willow shoots are a thin, shiny purple shade which contrasts nicely against the small, ovate shaped, light and dark green leaves. This plant adds great aesthetic value to gardens, and can be used for hedging, as a focal point, or as an outdoor room divider. This versatile plant can also be potted and added to patios. To maintain it's decorative, manicured look, cut back top growth in early Spring, before lightly shaping 2-3 more times during the Summer as needed. Remove any shoots that scarcely pop out on the lower stems. Although the Braided Willow is very hardy and can withstand severe frost, when planting in a flower bed, adding mulch to the base will provide extra support through every season. Willow is happiest in a moist, water-retentive spot. Keep well watered, especially in hot, dry weather. The Braided Willow is a great addition to any garden or landscape that is looking to add a touch of elegance and beauty.
