Spring Willow Branch with Catkins
A woody branch features distinct node points where soft, rounded catkins sprout. These furry oval formations sit attached to the firm stem, representing the early growth stage of willow trees before leaves unfold.
Remarkable Characteristics of Pussy Willows
Pussy willow catkins are actually specialized flower clusters that bloom before the tree grows any leaves in late winter or early spring. The soft silky hairs covering each catkin act as insulation, protecting the delicate reproductive flower parts from frost and freezing winds. As spring progresses, male catkins produce golden yellow pollen that attracts early emerging bumblebees.
True Colors of Pussy Willow Branches
- Soft catkin fur: silvery gray or pearly white
- Mature catkin pollen: bright yellow
- Woody stem bark: reddish brown or dark gray
