The Oak Tree
There the squirrel loves to frolic,
There the wild birds rest at night,
There the cattle come for shelter
In the noontime hot and bright.

Poem by Cecil Francis Alexander.

Hydrangea arborescens is a specialist herb that practitioners use to help cystitis, enlarged prostate (holding water) and for kidney and bladder stones. We use the root.
It grows wild in the US in woodlands and riverbanks, whilst in the UK it`s a glorious garden plant.
