The goat willow is a fast-growing small tree that stands out in early spring with its silver-coloured, velvety catkins that later turn golden-yellow with pollen. It is one of the first trees to provide food for bees after winter. The tree grows in virtually any soil type.

Common Hazel

The hazel is a native large shrub or small tree that enlivens the garden as early as February and March with long, golden-yellow catkins — one of the first food sources for bees after winter. In autumn, hazelnuts follow in their characteristic green husks. Hazel grows multi-stemmed and makes a beautiful native hedge or specimen.

In autumn, glossy dark purple berries follow, beloved by birds. Both flowers and berries are edible and have been used for centuries in elderflower cordial and elderberry juice.
