Kilmarnock Dwarf Weeping Willow Tree | Salix Caprea

A gracefully weeping, compact willow

The Highlights

    • Also known as Pussy or Goat Willow with distinct willowing habit
    • The arching stems provide profusion of fuzzy grey catkins opening to a soft yellow and white flower in the spring
    • Green foliage will follow the appearance of the flowers
    • The weeping shape provides a beautiful view when covered in frost or snow.
    • Small tree growing up to 2m x 1.5m, ideal for small gardens
    • This tree is a fantastic home for pollinators, recognised by the RHS
    • It is a hardy tree, easy to maintain and suitable for all moist but well drained soils
    • Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
    • Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
    • Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
