Salix Caprea "Pendula" (pussy willow)

Thats very nice sandra..... they had these down my local plant shop a while ago... but i resisted the temptation...lol

lol thanx holly iv been looking at them for last 3 years lol so i think i did well to hold back so long :o)

lol...sandra... id love one but not much room for it.. i bought my mahonia instead... im putting things in pots now as im short of space...

well done it looks great,

holly i love mahonia to lol, been looking since 2 years ago, like you its about space, but at least the standard trees dont take up much room ;o))
thanx yorkshire :o))

I was going to buy one to put in the middle of the front lawn...but decided not to.... i think we all need bigger gardens.... : O ))

i think your right holly :o))

: O ))

Nice tree San! Good choice.

Thats a lovely shaped tree San and you deserve it after waiting 3 years .. :o)

thanx karen, cant wait to get it into the pot, need some new composs next :o)

Yes, and will you plant something in the top of the pot around it as well....my neighbour has one in her front lawn and around it she has primulas. It looks pretty, and it has really filled out. It's been there for about four years now and it is quite a feature.

yes will get something for the top karen, primulars sounds lovely idea, will try get something this week, a busy week for me, art tomorrow at carols house then art class tuesday, all go then housework inbetween, i need more days lol

I really need to get some housework done San, but I feel so bloomin exhausted with this virus. I hope I have a bit more energy tomorrow. Callum is making dinner....again! Thank goodness he's still at home. If I get another cold after April I will have to beg him to come home and cook for us!....or just eat curry every night! :)) Any news on Joe getting a transfer?

poor you karen i know how you feel and at least callum can cook for you while home, i only have baz haha, but good for losing weight .
joe has decided to stay at lampeter, i think i was right, home sickness and think with most of them feeling it, that made them argue about every little thing, since second term all has been ok and joe very happy again, himself and two friends are looking for accomadation for next year now, he has joined the rugby team, learning guitar, his friend teaching him and also has a girlfriend even though they are being sensible and not getting to serious, both want to do well which im pleased. so even though he has a unconditional place at bournemouth now he has decided to stay there, glad really as can you imagine if he didnt like it when he transfered , relief really :o)

Yes they're lovely sanbaz :) Well done on that buy - will look brill :):)

thanx paul :o)

We had a ceanothus that died and replaced it with one of these :)

it awfull when you lose something, but always nice to have something else paul.

Yes Sanbaz - I had one in the front too that died - not ceanothus but something that smells gorgeous - like those smelly coloured rubbers we had at school lol but not giving up moved it to a pot see if it comes back

That's great news about Joe San. Really pleased for him...and you!

hope it does paul lol, cant remeber them at school, to long ago now haha
thanx karen, he`s a good lad and wont rush things, always thinks once we have talked :o)

Sandra put mine in large pot as they only grow 1.2metres and i'm not much good at metric but i think there more or less at that height .

carol that will be the height because they are grafted so the stem wont grow now, it will just bush out more, mine going in pot to for now anyway :o)

Nice buy Sandra........

I agree Milky smashing little tree.....

thanx maureen and Dotty ;o))

Lovely shrubs Sandra, but a word of warning make sure you plant it where it has space to spread its branches, as although they dont get taller they do need plenty of room to show off their lovely shape;0)

thanx carole and will give it room, its looking very silvery at the moment, so pretty ;o)

Pretty shape to this Salix :o)

thanx Terra its coming into flower now and looking pretty :o)

I bought one today exactly the same £8 in Morrisons, thought I had a real bargain.

great bargain Triker, mine in lawn now as my pot broke, but looks good in the grass, iv got lots of catkins comming this year :o))
