    Help, I'm trying to identify what type of pussy willow we have so that I may care for it better. It was planted about 2-3 years ago. It is maybe 1 foot tall with typical weeping pussy willow branches. The branches for the most part grow along the ground as the trunk is so short. Could it be a mini pussy willow? The catskins are of normal shape and colour. Not sure what else you might need. Thx

    Sorry I forgot all about this. Here's a pic from early fall. I don't have a pic of the flowers. I just had to fight off what I believe we're giant willow aphid, that we're eating them.

    Likely to be 'Kilmarnock'. Suggest installing a post or stout stake and training it up that, to make specimen taller and more decorative.
