Goat Willow is a small deciduous tree or large shrub that can grow up to 10 m high. Its natural distribution in Europe ranges from Southern Norway to Eastern Spain and throughout the United Kingdom. It is also found in temperate Asia and in Syria. The plant’s leaves are oval unlike the long and thin leaves of many willow species.
All willow species can be coppiced and the branches used for basket making. Established trees or multistemmed shrubs are also valued as a component of windbreaks or shelterbelts and the wood can be used for good quality charcoal.
In forest plantings, the species works as a fine pioneer species that usually gets naturally outcompeted. The catkins provide pollen and nectar for bees earlier than most other plants and the tree forms an important source of food for various insects and birds.
All willows light demanding and prefer full sun and are usually found in damp rich forests, boggy places, hedgerows, ditches and generally near water sources.
