| The shrub cover is rather closed and contains saplings, red osier, grape vine and occasional pure stands of bladder nut. |
| Species include alder, red osier dogwood, sweet gale, Virginia creeper, wild rose, shrubby willow, mountain ash, and meadowsweet. |
| The mallee scrub appears like a forest of dried osier, growing so close that it is not always easy to ride through it. |
| Here you can walk through tidal willow forests, along narrow brooks and old osier beds. |
| Similarly, when flooded, the common osier is able to aerate upper adventitious roots, while deeper roots rely on anoxia-tolerance for their survival. |
| I think of East Suffolk as a landscape of repose and ingress: the lion shall drink Adnams, then lie down in an osier bed and sleep for a decade. |
