Shrubs Trees
A variable deciduous shrub, usually low-growing and no more than 1m high, with creeping roots, slender stems and small, oval to oblong green leaves. Shoots and leaves are covered with fine silky hairs when young, and leaves remain hairy on the undersides. Small yellow-green catkins are produced before the leaves in spring. Sometimes grafted as a standard to create a small weeping tree; smaller forms may be suitable for rock gardens
