The Common Osier (Salix viminalis) willow tree is an attractive quick growing willow used to create a fast establishing screen or hedge and is often used to assist in noise reduction.

The Common Osier is widely used as a carbon neutral sustainable fuel supply for wood burning stoves and biomass boilers.
