Salix melanostachys
Willow - Black Pussy
Spring male catkins are purple-black with red anthers, making a very showy combination. The twigs are also reddish-purple in winter, for added interest. Like other shrub willows, Black Pussy Willow benefits from being cut back hard in spring. It is also salt and wet site tolerant.
