German common name for Red Willow?

What is the German common name for red willow or Salix laevigata?

German common name for Red Willow?
Salix laevigata, syn S. congesta, red willow is a native tree of North America and neither Zander, W枚rterbuch der Pflanzennamen ( dictionary of plant names ) nor Marzell ( same title, 5 vol. ) list a German name for this tree.





"Red willow" means "Rotweide", Salix is Weide %26gt; willow, laevigata means glatt %26gt; sleek, plain and congesta gedr盲ngt %26gt; crowded, terse.





The most plausible German name seems to be Rotweide.
