The tree can reach a height of 70 feet. The bark is silver-grey . The female and male blossoms have different shapes but are found on the same tree. The leaves are deciduous, alternate, and simple with a serrated margin, and typically vary from 1-3 inches in length. The flowers are wind-pollinated pendulous catkins, produced from April through May. The male and female flowers are on separate catkins, but on the same tree (monoecious). The aims of this flower essence: Monday morning feeling, one feels to be too weak to cope with the daily duties. Overtaxing in the daily routine. Dr. Bach wrote: |
