We carry the pussy Willow Tree with and without a pot. The tree comes in a 6″ plastic container. All of the trees are in the process of blooming and look a bit different to each other, which means the height and the width will vary in size.

Plant care

Light: Pussy willows do best in full sun, but they will tolerate shade.

Soil: This plant likes loamy, moist, rich soil. It wants to be kept wet and will tolerate poorly-drained soil, but it is best if the soil is well-drained. Pussy willows also prefer alkaline soil.

Water: These plants love moisture. They thrive along banks of streams in the wild and are useful for controlling soil erosion. You will need to ensure they have plenty of water and are not subjected to drought conditions. Water them heavily once or twice a week if there is no rainfall.

Temperature and Humidity: Pussy willows will grow well in temperate conditions with cold winters, as is typical in the Northern U.S. and Canada. They grow slower in hot climates. Pussy willows readily tolerate high humidity.

Fertilizer: Pussy willows can do well when fed with just compost or leaf-mold. You can fertilize them once in the fall with a balanced fertilizer after the plant is more than one year old. Use 1/2 pound of fertilizer for every 1/2 inch of base-trunk diameter, spread 18 inches beyond the drip line of the branches. Don’t let the fertilizer come into contact with the trunk of the pussy willow.
