This morning I noticed that our pussy willow tree was full of little grey catkins! It’s really truly spring now.
This tree is special to my husband and me because it grew from a tiny cutting given to us by his mother. It’s huge now. We planted it next to our beehives when we had bees. Pollinators adore these plants and they’re easy to grow. Here is some general info on propagation and pruning.
The cuttings are also beautiful in spring bouquets and by themselves. If you don’t put them in water they can literally last for years. If you do put them in water they will go to flower and are also very pretty, but I love the catkins. 🐱
A wild bird friend came to see what I was doing.
Happy spring to you too.
