Willows at Richmond Park

As the title suggests this thread is intended to focus on one tree a month. It will hopefully be a celebration of our Native Trees in order to aid us all in learning as much as possible about them. Our experiences working with them, fungal associations, pests and diseases, photographs, myths, legends and their place in the arts and culture. As said before a celebration and learning resource. I thought we could use the Celtic Tree Ogham calendar as a starter whose origins lie with the Celtic tribes who migrated to Britain around 700 – 500bc. Trees were venerated by the ancients for their many gifts which were a mainstay of peoples lifestyles. Everybody was born under a particular tree (the same as our own zodiac sign). Hopefully this thread will work and we can collate all sorts of useful and interesting information about our native trees. I hope there are a few of you who feel the same. This months tree covering the dates 15th April to 12th May is The Willow (Salix Spp) Please feel free to add to previous Months.....Birch, Ash and Alder.

spring shed leaves of beech and oak were richer in soluble minerals than autumn shed leaves that had been lying around over winter......when these leaves fall in spring the roots are active and able to take in these nutrients as they leach from the leaves. Keeping the leaves only on the lower branches improves the chances that they will fall within reach of the trees own roots!........a theory.......
