They look like the trees my uncle uses as a wind stop and privacy screen for his deer that raises. He is in south east mn and thinks they are great. Not sure if they are these or just a similar one.

How about shipping to an address in Wyoming that is technically still part of the great plains?

I have a bunch of willows but they're probably not hybrids. They're easy to grow; just cut off a limb, cut it in sections and bury the sections and, viola, a new tree emerges. Mine grow fast but not 10 feet in 1 year.
The advantages:
1. They will grow in pretty wet ground.
2. They are a good summer privacy screen.
3. They grow fast.
The disadvantages:
1. They're not a good screen in the winter.
2. They tend to drop a lot of branches and limbs as they get older. If you get a good wind storm, you will also have branches all over the place. Last year in a storm with 60 mph gusts, I had branches that went clear over my house lengthwise and landed where I usually parked my SUV.
3. The potential sewer problem has already been mentioned.

1. They're not a good screen in the winter.
I would agree they will be screening the best while leaves are on the tree, the nice thing for this deciduous tree, they are one of the first to leaf out in spring and one of the last to drop leaves in fall. For screens, planting 3' apart can help with partial screening off things even when leafless. Different species of willow can be more prone to broken branches, black and crack willows and their hybrids would be the worst. The hybrid I sell has more flexible branches and does pretty good for a willow.

Why can't they ship to the Rockies?? Is it an "enviromental law" or are you cutting in on another salesman's district or will they not grow in our soil/lack of rain??
Some is Good---More is Better----Too Much is Just Right

Yeah, lack of rain is the main reason I do a general cutoff of where I ship to, though sometimes there are exceptions if planting along streams, irrigation, etc in that regard.

The root system has been mentioned....what about hillside erosion control?
I have a steep bank with ground seeps. The area is wet and actually slips at times. Would the aggressive root system add weight and increase the slippage or would the roots prevent slippage?
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

It should help in two ways, these trees have large root systems and work good for erosion control, but that excess water they can utilize and turn into some fast growth, thus can help an area not be as wet and prone to slippage.
