GENERAL INFORMATION

• In Chinese tradition, Pussy willow (银柳), also known as catkins signifies the coming of Spring and Prosperity.
• The appearance of their branches of fluffy, furry blossoms and tall height can also be related to the growth and abundance of fortune.
• The furry catkins of pussy willows are one of spring's earliest harbingers.
• If you have the proper conditions, you can grow this shrub in your yard.
• Proper pruning allows you to show off these plants with maximum impact on your landscape.
• Pussy willows are dioecious, with the male pussy willow trees producing catkins earlier than the female trees and therefore being more highly prized.
• The catkins of males yield numerous tiny flowers full of pollen later in spring, and when the blooms reach this point they are not considered decorative for floral cuttings.
• The female catkins bear flowers of their own that receive the males' pollen via flies and bees.
• The oval leaves come out after the catkins.
