love your video

Do you know John, if I plant a willow from a 1 gallon nursery plant, how many years it will take to flower? I wish there was a way to know the sex ahead of time, because it seems like having a male plant might be more advantageous for a pollinator garden. At least both can still be lepidopteran hosts!

That was great. So the male catkins are more popular with pollinating insects. Yes that's what I thought as they are often buzzing with insects on sunny days in early spring. And the female has little nectaries (not the male ? I must watch again). You didn't mention the Crack Willow ? That's our native riverside 'tree willow' (I'm excluding the pussy willows) here in Bristol, south-west England (White Willow which you mentioned is native to east England, I believe).

I would have silenced the barber before he could whisper anything. .
