Hakea salicifolia, commonly known as the willow-leaved hakea, [2] is a species of flowering plant that is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an adaptable, fast growing small tree or shrub with attractive foliage and cream white flowers.
The leaves are spirally arranged, 2–9 cm (1– 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long and 1–3 cm (1 ⁄ 2 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) broad (exceptionally up to 16 cm long and 5 cm broad), green above, hairy below, with a crenate margin. The flowers are produced in early spring in catkins 2–5 cm long; it is dioecious with male and female catkins on separate plants.
It is a deciduous shrub or small tree, reaching a height of 8–10 m (26–33 ft), rarely to 13 m.. The leaves are 3–12 cm long and from 2–8 cm wide, broader than most other willows.
The leaf edges are generally entire, though sometimes finely serrated. The leaves are dull blue-green in color and smooth in texture when mature; new leaves are coated in downy hairs. The leaves are up to 5 in long and 1.5 in wide. Like other willows, this plant is dioecious, with male and female plants producing small, dangling catkins.
