Pussy Willow vs Lowbush CranberrySalix discolor or Salix spp. Viburnum edule ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (new stock expected: fall of 2019) 
Pussy Willow is a large shrub or small tree that produces catkins that are soft, silky, and silvery before leaves appear in the spring. This native willow prefers moist to wet soil. Lowbush Cranberry is a short, deciduous shrub native to North America. Its white flowers bear sour but edible fruit that ripens to a brilliant red in fall. Lowbush Cranberry's small size makes it suitable for urban use; buyers will also find it useful if trying to reclaim land back to its original species or when landscaping with native species in damp conditions.
