    Salix caprea, commonly known as goat willow, pussy willow or great sallow, is a common species of willow native to Europe and Asia. It is a deciduous shrub or small tree that can grow up to 12 meters tall. It has a broad, rounded crown and grey-brown bark. It is known for its catkins, which emerge in early spring before the leaves and are an important source of early nectar and pollen for bees and other insects. The leaves are broad and oval or oblong in shape. Salix caprea is often found in woodland, scrub, hedgerows and wet ground. It is frequently used as an ornamental plant due to its attractive catkins.

  1. Salix caprea

    Salix caprea is a common species of willow native to Europe and western and central Asia. It is a deciduous shrub or small tree, reaching a height of 8–10 m, rarely to 13 m. The leaves are 3-12 cm long and from 2-8 cm wide, broader than most other willows. The flowers are soft silky, and silvery 3-7-cm-long catkins are produced in early spring before the new leaves appear; the male and female catkins are on different plants. The male catkins mature yellow at pollen release, the female catkins mature pale green. The fruit is a small capsule 5-10 mm long containing numerous minute seeds embedded in fine, cottony hairs. The seeds are very small with the fine hairs aiding dispersal; they require bare soil to germinate. The two varieties are: ⁕S. c. var. caprea - lowland regions throughout the range, leaves thinly hairy above, densely hairy below, 5-12 cm long, stipules persistent until autumn ⁕S. c. var. sphacelata Wahlenb. - high altitudes in the mountains of central and northern Europe, leaves densely silky-hairy on both sides, 3-7 cm long, stipules early deciduous
