Pussy Willow vs Northern BayberrySalix discolor Myrica pensylvanica SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 
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.
Northern Bayberry makes an excellent hedge or feature shrub. It will retain its leaves in warmer climates but drops them in colder areas. They produce blue-grey berries that have a wax coating on them that can be used to make candles or soaps. PUSSY WILLOW QUICK FACTSNORTHERN BAYBERRY QUICK FACTS
