What’s a druidic focus?
Spellcasting focus. A druidic focus might be a sprig of mistletoe or holly, a wand or scepter made of yew or another special wood, a staff drawn whole out of a living tree, or a totem object incorporating feathers, fur, bones, and teeth from sacred animals. A druid can use such an object as a spellcasting focus.

Do you need a component pouch for a wand?
While a component pouch does let you use your hand for the component and somantic parts of the spell, that doesn’t seem relevant for characters that are primarily casters. Is there some reason why a wand should cost less than half as much, for the same effect?
