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 solution for nighttime coughing.
Size: 40 Count (Pack of 3)
My dental hygienist recommended this when I told her I used a cough drop during the night bc I coughed. Obviously cough drops are not good for your teeth, and I found these serve the same purpose! They stick to the roof of your mouth & provide moisture all night long. So glad I found out about them. Pleasant taste - lasts all night.

Lasted about an hour
Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
Today I used my first mint flavored melt, it lasted for exactly an hour. I didn’t have super high expectations for this to last 8 hours, but want to see if it would improve my overall enamel and prevent cavities. I was hoping it could help my night time dryness from a chronic stuffy nose and sleeping with my mouth open. I placed it upper molar area, but I think it’s good even still.

No more dry mouth in the mornings
Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
Finally waking up without dry mouth. I do have to use 1 on each side, and they’re hard to stick on, but honestly worth it. I’ve been getting cavities from dry mouth due to medications, and I’m so glad I’ll be able to prevent them from getting worse.

Amazing product!
Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
This is something that actually works! I am amazed at these dry mouth melts! They work great and I am very happy after trying multiple products that never seemed to work. The only complaint I would have is that they dont last all night for me, so I just use 2. but I am very satisfied with them and how good they work.
