Appearance
The dwarf willow is one of the smallest woody plants in the world. It typically grows to only 1–6 cm in height and has round, shiny green leaves 1–2 cm long and broad. Like the rest of the willows, it is dioecious, with male and female catkins on separate plants. As a result, the plant's appearance varies; the female catkins are red-coloured, while the male catkins are yellow-coloured.
