Dax, This is the best example that I've yet seen - and I've obsessively search the internet for a long time. Thanks a lot. Is there a chance that you can take a photo (at this time of year?) which would reveal the effect of the tree with all of its green foliage? Thanks for this photo - it's ideal and just what I was looking for (height, width, and distance of shot) for figuring out where I should plant mine. Thanks, Steve

Pussy Willow is a shrub or small tree that can sometimes reach 25 feet tall. The U.S. Champion Pussy Willow is located in Jamestown, RI and it is 25 feet tall and has a 48 foot branch spread as you can see in my illustration below which is compared to an average sized Pussy Willow. Average size Pussy Willow:

Yesterday I checked on my French Willow, [first one to push] some are about half way's out. Had several trees planted but found out that no honeybees attracts them, so now most I got rid of. Our native willow, [allot smarter] haven't pushed out yet, all native willow attract bees.

Trooper, I would really appreciate pictures of those. To this day, I've still been searching for one - I found a somewhat more mature one finally, but that 40+ set of pussywillows (not black or other willow, right?) would be great to finally help me understand some specific details pertaining to their growth habit. Thanks! Steve
