| | | Trees for Exposed Sites: Goat Willow (Salix caprea) Goat Willow (or Pussy Willow, or Sallow) doesn't necessarily need wet, unlike other willows, and tolerates exposed positions. The Goat Willow is, however, dioecious - male and female flowers appear on separate trees. The male flowers are in the form of yellow catkins (as pictured), which are an important source of early pollen and nectar for bees in the critical period of early spring. In the female form it has silver catkins, which are also an excellent source of early season nectar. We have a beautiful old tree in the village that is covered with our bees as soon as it comes into flower. Useful for the church flowers, too. Among its dependent species is the spectacular Purple Emperor, for which it is a foodplant.
Salix seem to be second only to the oaks in terms of dependent species, which include several small mammals. Willow pollards are a defining characteristic of traditional lowland river and wetland landscapes like the Somerset Levels, and their rapid regrowth has led to biomass experimentation. There are an enormous number of species in the genus, of which 19 are native to the UK and 4 are trees.
