Salix arbutifolia, synonym Chosenia arbutifolia,[1][2] is a flowering plant in the family Salicaceae, native to Japan, Korea, northeastern China, Siberia and the Russian Far East.

[3][4] It is a deciduous, wind-pollinated tree generally reaching a height of 20–30 m with a columnar crown and grey-brown peeling bark.

It is a fast-growing pioneer tree on sand and pebble river banks.

Salix arbutifolia is native to the Russian Far East (Khabarovsk Krai, the Kuril Islands, Magadan Oblast, Primorsky Krai, and Sakhalin), Siberia (Buryatia, Chita Oblast, Irkutsk Oblast, and the Sakha Republic), North-Central China, Inner Mongolia, Japan, and Korea.

[1] Traditionally grown alongside mountain river banks, owing to its favorable characteristics such as strong stress resistance and fast growth it would be useful for landscape planting, but is hard to propagate and has been categorized as endangered in China.
