$16.00
The Pussy Willow (Salix caprea) is a small, deciduous tree or shrub native to Europe and Asia. Their fuzzy, silvery catkins are a delightful sight in the late winter and early spring, adding texture and softness to the otherwise barren landscape. They’re a welcome sign of the changing season. Pussy willows are one of the earliest blooming plants, offering vital pollen and nectar to emerging pollinators like bees and butterflies when food sources are scarce.
They thrive in a range of soil types but prefer consistently moist conditions. This makes them perfect for areas prone to wetness, like the edges of ponds or streams. They tolerate full sun to partial shade. Pussy willows are relatively easy to care for. They need occasional pruning to maintain their size and shape but are otherwise quite resistant to pests and diseases. Pussy willows have robust root systems that help stabilize soil, making them a useful choice for slopes or areas prone to erosion.

Pussy Willow
My pussy willow tree arrived very well packaged. In box with burlap and dirt around roots. It is doing very well in location where I planted it.
Would order from this company again.

Beautiful pussy willows
They arrived wonderfully packaged. The roots were packed in dirt and wrapped in moist burlap to make sure they didn’t dry out during shipping. They’re already out of dormancy and leafing out

3 out of 4 made it
3 out of our order of 4 seem to be adjusting to their planted location. The 4th has shriveled and seems to be dying literally 4 feet from the other plants. We planted the plants a week or so ago. They are watered daily and we have fertilized as well. We will update the review as the plants become established.
