Salix caprea 'Pendula' is a wonderfully architectural dwarf tree with heavily pendulous branches. It boasts bright yellow furry catkins in the spring that are popular with bees. The mid-green ovate leaves have soft grey undersides and cloth the branches attractively throughout the year. Then it winter, the weeping form looks stunning covered in frost or snow.
Most at home next to water and preferring full sun, Salix caprea 'Pendula' can also be container grown if a watering regime is established. Expect a height and spread of 2.5 x 2.5 metres in 20 years, less if kept in a container. Commonly known as the Kilmarnock Willow or Weeping Pussy Willow tree, we offer this delightful small tree in a range of top grafted heights to make the most of it weeping habit.
