Salix Caprea Pendula 'Pussy Willow'

Pussy willow, scientifically known as Salix, is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to North America. It typically grows to a height of 13-25 feet and features slender, flexible branches with smooth, grayish-brown bark. In early spring, before the leaves emerge, it produces soft, furry catkins that resemble small cats' paws, which are covered in fine, silvery or grayish fur. This plant is valued for its ornamental appeal and ecological role, providing early-season pollen for pollinators.
