Salix arbutifolia
Also called Willows, Willows And Poplars
Salix arbutifolia (also known as Chosenia arbutifolia) is a fast-growing, deciduous river-bank tree of the willow family, reaching 20–30 m in the wild. It is native to Siberia, the Russian Far East, northeastern China, Japan and Korea, and is hard to propagate and endangered in China.
Salix arbutifolia, synonym Chosenia arbutifolia, is a flowering plant in the family Salicaceae, native to Japan, Korea, northeastern China, Siberia and the Russian Far East. It has been treated as the sole member of genus Chosenia.
Traditionally grown alongside mountain river banks, owing to its favorable characteristics such as strong stress resistance and fast growth, it would be useful for landscape planting, but is hard to propagate and has been categorized as endangered in China. A high-quality chromosome-level genome has been produced with a total size of 338.93 Mb to provide comprehensive information for germplasm protection and future functional genomic studies.
Salix arbutifolia is native to the Russian Far East (Khabarovsk Krai, the Kuril Islands, Magadan Oblast, Primorsky Krai, and Sakhalin), Siberia (Buryatia, Chita Oblast, Irkutsk Oblast, and the Sakha Republic), North-Central China, Inner Mongolia, Japan, and Korea.
