Weeping Pussy Willow Tree - growing problem
Posted: Sun Apr 12, 2009 10:33 am
I bought a small Weeping Pussy Willow a couple of months ago for Valentine's Day and wasn't planting it until end of April, beginning of May (after the threat of frost is gone). It had catkins when I bought it. I must have let it get too dry while in the house, and now it has dried leaves and very few catkins on the branches. I was wondering if I should prune these limbs off or is it too late in the spring. I haven't cut it back yet... am I supposed to? I live in southwestern ontario where winters can be mild to harsh and summers are hot and dry, and sometimes wet (depends on this global warming). I want to plant it in my front yard where it will get most of the days' sun. Any help would be appreciated.
