Habitat and distribution
[edit | edit source]Salix argyrocarpa grows naturally in Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, Nunavut (on the Belcher Islands[4]), Maine, and New Hampshire.[2] It inhabits wet areas, including floodplains, edges of lakes and streams, and snowbeds, as well as subarctic and subalpine habitats.[4] It prefers granitic, sandstone, and limestone soils.[4]
