Goat Willow – Salix capria (Potted)

Description

Goat Willow, Salix capria, also known as Pussy Willow, is a deciduous tree. It is very vigorous and needs plenty of room so is best planted in a large sized garden or parkland. It produces a yellow or green hairy fruit. The twigs with the fruit attached are used in cut flower arrangements. The timber is not ideal for burning as it spits sparks constantly even when dried. I understand flutes can be made from the twigs! The tree will grow well in any type of soil.
