Easily recognised for its umbrella like frame and long, low-hanging branches, willow trees are something to behold. They are water loving and prefer to be planted in wet, marshy areas. They are often found planted on floodplains as a way to soak up all the extra water.
Being one of the fastest growing trees in the world (up to 10 ft per year!) means that can have an extremely large root system. They have been known to break through water pipes they come into contact with. This makes them better suited to large open landscapes where they can be allowed to grow.
The pussy willow is probably the most well known of its kind and most famous for its beautiful furry catkins. So soft to the touch that they have been likened to pussy cats fur, hence the name. Willows are deciduous trees and when all the leaves have fallen and theres nothing left but the silver tinged buds, it looks like something from a fairy tale.
Most willows originated from parts of Asia but the grey willow tree is native to the UK. Known as the Tree of Enchantment hundreds of years ago, the wood was often used to make magical wands for witchcraft and wizardry.
