Trees
A large, often multi-stemmed deciduous tree seen along river banks. It has leathery green leaves which are deeply indented between the veins making slender lobes. These have no autumn colour and fall green. It bears deep red, upright catkins which give it a red glow in winter. The tiny female flowers develop into clusters of long-lasting wooden cones
