"Pussy Willow"
I had a bouquet of flowers a while back and in it there was some Pussy Willow and it grew roots, is it ok to grow in a pot as I think the root can be evasive & if it was to be put in the ground how big would it grow?

Well that rather depends on which variety of Salix the 'pussy willows' were cut from - Salix vary in height and spread. If it was Salix cinerea, it will eventually get 4 x 4 metres - if it was from goat willow, Salix caprea, that gets 8-12 metres high by 4-8 metres wide.

You made me laugh out loud with your typo of 'evasive' rather than 'invasive'... visions of plants evading capture spring to mind;-))

Willows won't be happy grown in a pot. Not usually invasive but as Bamboo says, can get very large. The size can be controlled by cutting back hard, they always seem to regrow!

Not at your expense really - we all make typos or errors here and there, and just occasionally, you get one that's actually funny.... I'm grateful for a laugh wherever I find it these days!
