Goat Willow (Salix caprea)Goat Willow (Salix caprea) Why Goat Willow? No one seems quite sure it's nothing botanical. It might have been grown to feed goats who knows. It's the odd one out, as Goat willow (or Pussy Willow, or Great Sallow) doesn't necessarily need wet, although it grows as quickly as our other native willows. Salix caprea is dioecious too male and female flowers appear on separate trees. As other true willows as opposed to hybrids it won't grow from a rod

Goat Willow (Salix caprea)

Why Goat Willow? No-one seems quite sure - it's nothing botanical. It might have been grown to feed goats - who knows. It's the odd one out, as Goat willow (or Pussy Willow, or Great Sallow) doesn't necessarily need wet, although it grows as quickly as our other native willows. Salix caprea is dioecious too - male and female flowers appear on separate trees. As other true willows - as opposed to hybrids - it won't grow from a rod stuck in the ground. 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.

Value For Wildlife

In the female form Salix caprea has silver catkins, which are also an excellent source of early season nectar. There was a beautiful old Goat willow tree in our old village that was covered with our bees as soon as it came into flower - like the one pictured! Useful for the church flowers, too. Among its dependent species is the spectacular Purple Emperor, for which it is a foodplant. They seem to be second only to the oaks in terms of dependent species, which include several small mammals.

Plants For Sale

Like all the native trees we sell, our Goat willows are grown in the UK from UK origin seed. We sell 2 year old 60/90cm plants in multiples of 5.

We sell larger plants as either "feathered" or - the biggest we sell - standards. These are measure by their girth - so 6/8cm means 6 to 8cm around - and are typically over 6ft tall.

Suppliers: RV Roger, British Hardwood Trees.

See our planting and size guide for details and tips on planting. These Goat Willow trees are all bare root, and are consequently available for delivery from November until March. During the lifting season there may be up to a month's delay between placing the order and dispatching, due to weather conditions or pressure of orders, which are dealt with in date sequence. Orders for Goat Willows placed between March and September are confirmed in October ready for dispatch from November.

Have a look at our videos on what to do when your plants arrive and how to plant a bare root tree. Please ask about larger trees; we can often supply them but will need to quote on an individual basis as carriage varies so much.

Great moisturing hand cream, especially those with calluses
I first tried this Hand Cream from my mother. Not only does it have a very pleasant soft smell, but it really does work well. I walk with canes so i build strong calluses on my hands. I am rough with my hands. they get dried out as well. This Hand Cream really did make my hands feel better after the first use. I took my time to and rubbed my hands together for a little while to make sure it was absorbed. Once it did, my hands felt good. I plan to purchse these again as soon as I run out.

One of my new favorite lotions.
I just discovered this lotion and I love it. It’s rich but not greasy and it soaks in very quickly. It doesn’t feel hexx as by but leaves your sad kin feeling very moisturized. I’ve even used it on my face when it was feeling very dry- works great. Wish it came in a larger tube but this size is great for my purse and travel or if I want to add a little something to a gift. I would highly recommend.

Several GREAT stocking stuffers!
Every friend & family member LOVED receiving their Vaseline Hand Cream, and I received a loud, happy "thank you" from all recipients. Not only did they make for lovely, useful gifts, but the price was just right! And I was as pleased with their approval, as they were with their gifts! So thank you, Vaseline!!!

It the absolute GOAT
This stuff is the GOAT I buy in bulk every year so always have it to hand. Seriously soft, smells so good and I use it on my hands, feet, elbows and it even cured my chicken skin on the back of my arms.
