I like that but are you sure it is a Hazel?

 

[MiqeMorbid]

Well.. I hope that it is male catkins on Common Hazel ( Corylus avellana )..
But it might actually be Alder, as I remember seing some around the area..

I am thinking Alder

You are probably right. The colour does not look right for Hazel, when I compare..

The buds still have that purple hue which is typical of Alder
Visited your country for Elmia wood show one year. Very friendly folk the Swedes.

I see.. Thanks for the info, man.. Much appreciated. I am more of an "herptile"-guy, so I´m lacking on info on trees and plants.. But.. A good day, is a day when you learn something new, right..

Thanks! The Elmia is quite large, isn´t it? Haven´t been there myself, but heard about it.

Yes there is always something new to learn.
I spent 3 days at Elmia & did not get to see all I wanted. One day I would like to go to Elmia again. We have much to learn from Scandanavia about forestry.
