Our Royal Horticultural Society Goat/Pussy Willow (Salix caprea) hedge is common in hedgerows throughout Britain. A native deciduous hedge, it has greyish leaves and large striking golden male and silver female catkins which appear in late March before foliage emerges. Unlike other willows, this hedge can be planted in dry ground.
