Nothing says spring like the furry little "flower buds of a pussy willow tree. What many gardeners don’t know is that you can produce better branches for catkins by pruning pussy willows. If you know how to prune a pussy willow tree, you can encourage long, straight stems which will look the best in flower arrangements. Even if your goal is just to keep your pussy willow plant tidy looking, taking time to trim a pussy willow bush will make it look lovelier in the long run.
To bring this early sign of spring into your home and produce your own Pussy Willows, cut healthy branches about mid-January and place them in a vase of water. Roots will appear in three to four weeks and you can plant them in the ground once the weather warms up to about 65° F.
