Description

Native to Europe, this deciduous shrub / small tree has a history associated with magic and witchcraft and it was traditionally used for its medicinal values.

It is believed to help treat viral and bacterial infections, coughs and colds, tonsillitis and nerve disorders (among other things).

The roots, leaves and bark shouldn’t be consumed internally but they are useful in making home made pesticides and fungicides.
