Origin : Asia, Europe
Environment : hill sides, on various soils;
up to 1500 m altitude
Climate : temperate

Notes :
The European Pussy Willow (also known as Goat Willow, from the Latin name) is a very rustic species. It can grow on almost any soil, even the poorest and sliding ones. For this reason it is often planted on hill and mountain sides to consolidate the ground and prevent landslides. It is a pioneer species, colonizing new or abandoned land. It often grows in mixed broadleaf forests. The timber is very elastic and therefore used to create basketworks.
