Weeping Pussy Willow (Salix Caprea Pendula) | More Organics

Salix caprea ‘pendula’ – Silvery-pinkish catkins, weeping form, dwarf

zone 4-9

height 5-6 feet

Perfect for a city yard, and a true sign of Spring.  This hardy little ornamental is a charmer with plentiful catkins.  Plant it in a spot with full sun and less than great drainage.  This tree needs water daily, so mulching is wise to keep the ground damp. 

To Prune (winter is best according to JPR Environmental )

taking off older branches, those that cross over other branches, those that are coming from the main stem (that’s the rootstock and not the weeping willow), as well as any vertical seeking branches. all of this above should be about 1/3 of the new growth. about every 4 years, prune the branches 4/5 back to the main stem for new growth, since new growth is where catkins are abundant.

Weeping Pussy Willow is a graceful ornamental, but it does take some care.  I’ll be transplanting mine outside once it’s Spring!

Pruning this tree back is a must to keep it in shape. I suggest this coming winter prune up to a third of the branches back like your instructions suggest. If the plant gets out of control during the growing season, there’s no fear of cutting back some in summer. Please let me know if I can offer up anymore suggestions. This week, I’ll talk more about the art of pruning.
