Native in the Pacific Northwest, from British Columbia to southern California, found along waterways and in marshy areas. Fast grower, but short lived. Provides food and cover for wildlife. Stabilizes stream banks and readily colonizes disturbed areas. The bark contains salicin and has been used medicinally since early times.
