Pruning Pussy Willow for Accessible Spring Catkins

Pussy willows (Salix discolor) are short-lived in Georgia due to insects and diseases. To keep them small enough to enjoy the fuzzy catkins, prune annually in January. Identify young trunks (brown bark) vs. old (gray bark). Cut a few oldest trunks to 12 inches. Repeat yearly until the plant stays at a viewable height.
