Tree of Enchantment

[The Hollyberry Lady]

This is my grafted dwarf weeping pussy willow tree....

Some of the catkins are now blooming...

Does anyone else have one of these? What an ornamental little tree. I can't wait for the leaves to start growing...

That's a nice weeping pussy willow you have there! I used to have a regular pussy willow but it just died for some reason. The catkins are nice to look at. There usually used by florists in arrangements.

I am honestly never seen one. Did you graft this tree of your own creation, or did you purchase it? Where did you get it if you did pick it out somewhere? I'm curious on how you grafted it if you did it?

I'm so intrigued!!!

So cool! My neighbor used to have a regular pussy willow. When I was a kid I was always just fascinated by it. I love the weeping form!

I have a regular one. My Mom's garden club was selling sticks that you could root. Super easy. It has really taken off, and I am hoping for catkins this year! I had to trim mine quite a bit last year and rooted a bunch of trimmings. I planted a few out in the chicken yard- so I might have more than one! I fell in love with the weeping one a few years ago- had to have it. Didn't make it to summer... I bought it in a grocery store- I should know better! Enjoy your beauty!

They're selling them at Trader Joe's right now! I'm tempted to buy one but my yard is so small...

: )[I don't know where to add my question. In January, I received a dwarf weeping pussy willow tree from my daughter but the information that came with it was not much of to it. When do I prune it? How do I prune it? Its about 18 inches from the dirt it was planted in the planter. When I just got it - it only had the catkins? (the little white things) but now it has greenery coming out of by the catkins? Help - I don't know much this dwarf tree and anything would be helpful. Thanks
