A delightful Weeping Pussy Willow tree (Salix caprea 'kilmarnock'). In early spring the branches are covered with large, fluffy, silvery catkins followed by studded golden anthers, lovely green foliage follows. Branches arch straight down making a beautiful display in all seasons! Excellent choice to accent a deck, patio or pond or as a bonsai. The hand-grafted weeping pussy willow is among the most graceful of trees. It is connected with dreaming, intuition, emotion, enchantment, healing and revitalization. The willow has long since been recognized as a sacred tree by poets, philosophers and religious leaders because of the flexibility of its twigs. The willow's flexibility symbolizes resilience and inspires us to move with life, rather than resist what we are feeling.
Pot Size: 6.5in. or 6in.
As with all living things, no two plants are alike, therefore may not be exactly as shown. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. May be in stages of flowering upon purchase.
Weeping Pussy Willow 'Tree of Enchantment'
Keep plant indoors till risk of frost has passed, keeping well watered —once planted outside, be sure to keep well watered for the first year.
Silvery-white catkins will appear followed by yellow stamens. After flowering cut back to within four inches of the stem allowing new branches to come for the following year.
This plant has been grafted, so all wild upright growing shoots must be removed from the stem. For decoration only, do not consume.
Good luck with your new Weeping Pussy Willow!
