Useful for woodland edge Good standard tree or coppice. Has many uses Good for wetter areas but not waterlogged, stagnant soils Good for underplanting, very shade tolerant More northerly locations Does best in groups. Regenerates freely Suitable for woodland edges Mixes well in woodlands. Useful for edge of woodland Good for underplanting and hedges. Can be laid As above Good for underplanting. Nuts are a valuable food resource Mixes well in woodland Excellent as coppice understorey. Good fuelwood Suitable for planting besides roads Grows well with ash. Locally common in ancient woodland Hardy, common in hedgerows. Forms tall hedge Very important for wildlife. Plant wherever possible As above Very frost resistant. Useful for windbreaks near coast Good for wetter areas but not waterlogged, stagnant soils Hybrid between aspen & white poplar Frost hardy, stands exposure Useful ornamental or nurse tree Rare ancient woodland indicator Plant beside streams or ponds Plant away from buildings because of large root system Plant beside streams or ponds Good for wildlife Plant beside streams or ponds Poisonous to stock - traditional in churchyards / historic gardens SHRUB SHRUB SHRUB SHRUB SHRUB SHRUB SHRUB SHRUB SHRUB SHRUB SHRUB SHRUB SHRUB SLW SLW MOD SLW MOD SLW RPD MOD RPD RPD RPD SLW MOD Calcareous to neutral clays & loams Calcareous to neutral soils Dry, calcareous soils Fenland soils, damp peats, acid sands Calcareous to neutral clays & loams Neutral to calcareous damp clays & loams Tolerant, most soils Calcareous loams & clays Neutral loams Calcareous to neutral clays & loams As above Calcareous to neutral loams Calcareous loams Fruit used to produce sloe gin Provides low cover for game & foliage Suckering growth can be a problem Main food plant (with buckthorn) of brimstone butterfly larvae Good gapping for hedgerows Showy flowers & berries Good for wildlife Good for game cover Produces fruit for food Colourful flowers & fruit As above Colourful leaves, flowers & fruit.
