Salix monticola is a species of flowering plant in the willow family known by the common names mountain willow, cherry willow, serviceberry willow, and park willow. It is native to the United States, where it occurs in the Rocky Mountains region from Wyoming to Arizona and New Mexico.[1] It also occurs in Alaska and parts of Canada.[2]
This willow is quite variable in appearance, depending on environmental conditions. It grows to 4–6 m (13–20 ft)[2][1] in dense clumps.[2] The branches are yellowish or reddish-brown, mottled with green. The leaves are lance-shaped to oval and are up to 9.5 cm (3.7 in) long. They have smooth, wavy, or toothed edges.[1] The species is dioecious, with male and female reproductive parts occurring on separate plants. The flowers are often pollinated by bees. The seeds are viable for a short time, but germinate immediately on landing on an appropriate moist substrate.[2]
This plant is common on the riverbanks of Arctic Alaska and Yukon. It forms thickets on floodplains where recent deposits of soil have been washed down by floodwaters. In western Colorado, it may be a dominant or codominant species in riparian zones. It often forms thickets along waterways.[2]
This plant is an important food source for many types of animals, such as moose and ptarmigan. Honey bees use the pollen and nectar.[2]

Salix monticola est une espèce de saule de la famille des Salicaceae. Communément appelé mountain willow, cherry willow, serviceberry willow, et park willow, on le trouve aux États-Unis d'Amérique, notamment dans les Rocky Mountains, de la région du Wyoming jusqu'en Arizona et au Nouveau-Mexique[2]. Il pousse également en Alaska et dans certaines zones du Canada[3].
Les conditions environnementales en font un arbre qui varie beaucoup en apparence. Il atteint une taille de 4 à 6 m de haut[3],[2] en touffes denses[3]. Ses branches sont jaunâtres ou brun-rougeâtre, tachetées de vert. Les feuilles ont une forme qui va de lancéolée à ovale et mesurent 9,5 cm de long. Leur bordure est lisse, ondulée ou crantée[2]. Les chatons sont souvent pollinisés par les abeilles. Les graines ne sont viables que très peu de temps mais germent immédiatement sur un substrat humide[3].
Cette plante est commune sur les rives des cours d'eau de l'Alaska arctique et du Yukon. Elle forme des fourrés sur les plaines inondables où un récent dépôt de sédiments a été effectué par les courants. Dans l'ouest du Colorado, elle peut se trouver dominante ou co-dominante dans les zones ripariennes[3]. C'est une source importante de nourriture pour les élans et les ptarmigans. Les abeilles mellifères en tirent du pollen et du nectar[3].
