Pussy Willow

The Pussy Willow is a deciduous shrub or small tree, belonging to the willow family (Salicaceae). It is known for its soft, silvery-gray catkins that appear in late winter or early spring, often before the leaves. These catkins, resembling tiny tufts of fur, are one of the first signs of spring and are prized for their ornamental value. Pussy willows thrive in moist, well-drained soils and are commonly found near wetlands, rivers, and streams. They are also popular in floral arrangements and are a symbol of renewal and growth in many cultures.
