(2-3’ bareroot) Salix discolor - The pussy willow is a weak-wooded deciduous shrub or small tree that typically grows up to 20 feet tall, spreading up to 12 feet wide, with flexible, brown, single shoots,. The roots are shallow and broad, and it may have single or multiple trunks. The circumference of a single trunk can reach up to 61.8 inches. This plant thrives in full sun and prefers moist, well-drained soil. It is native to the northern forests and wetlands of Canada, from British Columbia east to Newfoundland. It has a rapid growth period in early spring and requires low maintenance. The alternate leaves are oval, 3–14 cm long and 1-3.5 cm wide, green above and downy grey-white beneath. In fall, the leaves typically turn yellowish-green. In late winter, it develops gray catkins that are used ornamentally. Like other willows, it was historically used by Native Americans for its medicinal properties.
