Salix Caprea Kilmarnock 40cm 2ltr

Salix Caprea Kilmarnock provides silver, furry catkins of pussy willow that are one of the first signs of spring. This is a small and compact deciduous tree, ideal for small gardens.

It grows to around 1.8 - 2.4m high with a spread of up to 1.5m, and forms a stiffly weeping ‘umbrella’ of branches. Yellow-green stems are smothered in fuzzy silver catkins from late winter to early spring on bare twigs, before the leaves open.

The pollen-laden catkins are immensely popular with bees. Rounded mid-green leaves appear after the catkins.

Please note that all our plants come in simple plastic pots unless otherwise stated in the product name. If you wish to pot yours up we do have a wide range of pots to choose from.
