Black pussywillows for bonsai ?
A nursery near me has several "Black Pussywillows" in 3 gal pots that
they're going to let go cheap ... I've never heard of these for bonsai, so i didn't leap on them. I got a nice ilex deciduosa and an odd boxwood though. Any words of encouragement or discouragement on the Black Pussywillow ? |

They have beautiful red flowers in February or March. I have heard of it being used for bonsai. Give it a try. Iris, Central NY, Zone 5a, Sunset Zone 40 "If we see light at the end of the tunnel, It's the light of the oncoming train." Robert Lowell (1917-1977) |
