Willow - French

$8.75
sold out

(2-3’ bareroot) Salix caprea - The French pussy willow, also known as goat willow, thrives in full sun or partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil, although it can tolerate drier conditions. It is fast-growing and often used as screens, typically growing up to 25 feet and spreading 15 feet wide. The pussy willow produces soft, silky, fluffy catkins (1-2 inches) in early spring before the new leaves emerge; buds form in late winter, which is the optimal time for pruning. The branches are upright and erect, with a yellowish-brown color that darkens with age and the foliage turns yellow in autumn. Its wood is weak, making it prone to cracking.

Zones 4-8
