These Productive SRC willow varieties have been bred for high productivity and selected based on results in multi-site trials over a number of years. They are typically much higher yielding than native willow species. These varieties are covered by Plant Breeders’ Rights.
This is our star high yielding performer doing well in both wet and dry sites across the British Isles. Like many Swedish type varieties it is very tall, often reaching more than 3.5 metres in the first year (planting a 20cm cutting in mid March). It has a slight wave to its stems. This variety should be in any biomass planting and will also be perfect for biofiltration applications as its fast growth means that it will take up large quantities of fluid. Resolution has fewer shoots than other varieties. It therefore is possible to plant this as a tree or pollard (using a 2m long rod) as long as side shoots are rubbed out. It is untypical as a (S. viminalis x schwerinii hybrid in that it flushes early and also keeps its leaves later into the season (mid-November). It has very low incidence of rust and low to moderate susceptibility to beetles.

This is the 28 year old Kevin (back in 1998!) with 6 month old Resolution (planted as a 20 cm cutting in mid – March). Resolution had reached 3.85 metres in height! Note the lack of weed competition.
