Sandbar willow shrubs are used for planting near swamps, pond borders, rivers, gravel and sandbars, lake beaches, marshes, and ditches. The shrub is also helpful in reducing soil erosion. The sandbar willow is famous among pollinators and attracts various bees and butterflies, and small animals such as birds, squirrels, beavers, and turtles. This shrub also has medicinal uses and can be used for headaches, fever, gout, pain, disinfectant, antiseptic, and skin ointment due to the salicylic acid in its tissues.
