Salix gracilistyla 'Melanostachys'
At our last
meeting, we were invited to bring in a sample of a bloom, branch, or plant from
our gardens. Michael brought a number of specimens blooming in her garden,
including black pussy willow. She invited us to take a twig to propagate for
our own gardens. There was a lot of interest in this uncommon shrub and she may
bring more to the next meeting and also to the plant sale on Sunday, May 7, at the Cranberry Curling Club. Here’s some
information about the black pussy willow.
