Pussy Willow vs Northern Catalpa (Cigar Tree)Salix discolor Catalpa speciosa 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 Catalpa is a striking feature tree with showy flowers, and very large leaves. Its orchid-like flowers are white with yellow and purple accents, and they have a pleasant fragrance. They bloom from late spring to early summer and can last up to two weeks, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators. The leaves are very large, ranging from 15-30 cm long, 12-20 cm wide, forming a canopy that makes it a good shade tree. PUSSY WILLOW QUICK FACTSNORTHERN CATALPA (CIGAR TREE) QUICK FACTS
