The first flowering trees in Winter, the Hazel is steeped in a history as old as the land where they grow. 'Lamb's Tails' - a potent charm for good lambing, sprigs brought into the house for luck and protection, to the use of Hazel wood in divinity rods, these trees have held significance for over a thousand years, and herald one of the first signs of Spring to the British countryside and hedgerows today.
