I need help identifying some shrubs. This one appears to have fig like leaves but no fruit. It has catkins that you can see budding right now and I think they get several inches long by summer if I remember right. I am including several pictures here.

I think that's it! Thanks. Now I will see if it produces good fruit. I don't remember anything that looked good to eat last year. Per Wikipedia:
In traditional Chinese medicine, the fruit is used to treat prematurely grey hair, to "tonify" the blood, and treat constipation and diabetes. The bark is used to treat cough, wheezing, edema, and to promote urination. It is also used to treat fever, headache, red dry and sore eyes, as well as cough.
They had me at treating premature grey!

Well if you rub the fruit into grey hair, it'll turn bright red! ;-)
