>From the silky white appearance of the ventral side of the leaves it seems
to be the male tree of common Kashmir willow ("Wir" in Kashmiri) *Salix
alba. *Its wood is used for making cricket bats and branches with leaves
are economically important as after drying they provide fodder for cattle
,sheep and goats during the winter months. Its dense flowered yellow
catkins are a prominent feature of the local landscape from January to
April. Its range extends from Temperate to Subalpine ,Alpine (As per Flora
of Kashmir Himalayas by Dhar and Kachroo 1983)
Incidentally Tangmarg (Height about 2100 m asl)is in District Baramulla
and not District Srinagar ( Height of Srinagar city and suburbs is about
1600 m asl).This is rather important as the flora changes markedly with the
change in height above sea level.
