    The gagelbush is on the Red List of endangered plant species!
    It grows (usually dioecious), strongly branched, mainly on the edges of moors and wet heaths (height usually 0.5 to 1.5 m).
    The flowering period extends from April to May. Pollination is done by the wind. The fruits are small with a waxy coating. Fruit ripening is in September. The Gagel shrub was used early on in north-western Europe for brewing beer. You can still buy organic beers brewed with Gagel today.
    Dried leaves can be used as a spice or tea. Fresh leaves can be cooked in soups or stews.

      Since the population trend is declining sharply, partly due to the drainage of wetlands for agricultural purposes, it is considered endangered according to the German Red List.
