Description
This specimen of Net-leaved Willow, typically a prostrate arctic-alpine shrub, is shown with its characteristic small, rounded leaves and prominent reddish catkins. While not a traditional bonsai, its dwarf nature and interesting foliage could inspire a miniature landscape or accent planting, with individual shoots exhibiting an informal upright tendency.
