Willows

Les Tucker’s presentation is entitled "Salix (Willow) science from traditional wicker crafts to biodiversity’s critical taxonomy. It will combine discussion of the taxonomic problems of the Salicaceae, with examples of traditional Celtic green-weaving and mass-produced willow products. He will use R.D. Meikle’s 1984 BSBI Handbook No. 4 on Poplars & Willows of Britain and Ireland to identify and name candidate plants. Some persistent challenges and controversial recent proposals in salicological taxonomy will be considered briefly, and a scenic review of wild and cultivated Pussy Willows will be given. Bio: Les is an amateur botanist and craftsman, having mostly just picked up such expertise incidentally; during his childhood and occasional later vacations on family farms in Cornwall, Devon, and Donegal; latterly, on retirement, as a member of BSBI, PSNS, and RHS, during field studies and associated projects. Professionally, he was an academic chemist, specialising in studies of natural products, particularly the structures and properties of carbohydrates in complex compounds like antibiotics and polysaccharides.
