My Kilmarnock Willow had catkins when planted 8 years ago but nothing
since, despite last 5 years of being given a reprieve, nothing. There is
a nice half standard Flowering Almond (Prunus Tribola) in its place now.

Did you prune it? I prune mine back every year and never get any catkins,
but I've been told now that they flower on 2 year old wood.
