i just love hazel!!!! it grows in coppices so its easy to harvest!! it can be used for making structures!!! it can stay bendy for years if u soak it in a stream before using it!! you can strap it on ur van!! you can burn it!! you can carve it!! its fuking everywhere and is easy to manage!!! its one of the easiest trees to steal branches off!! you can make branches GROW INTO SHAPES!! natural walking stick!!! you can make messy flowers[just carve down working inwards, it kinda looks like when u roll a long piece of fringe into a cylinder]!! you can whittle off the bark and use it to cook food!!!

you can make so many diff structures from it and its so nice to work with!! you can make fences!! you can make LIVING fences!!!!

and dont forget her little sister willow!!!

but truly what cant she do<333 the tree of all time<33 short cycle, easy to care for, sooo versatile<333

#look i love her #best fuking tree #[fuck you pine you scratched me one to many times]#but w pine you have to take the branches of... hazel? nothing literally just cut it and maybe tug of a few tiny branches #hazel<33333333 #do not ask where this came from i have to many opinions on trees #but yea my opinion as somone who has helped w managing forests hazel is the nice baby that dont need to much attention #pine is good ive just ruined to many trousers to it #willow is great for weaving and baskets- as well as artists charcoal #also hazel is way more transportable and light than pine #pine framing is for HOUSES #hazel framing is for temporary structures #normally w canvas over the top #anyway have ur dose of info and opinions u will never need from your not so local wild thing
