The Lavendar twist rosebud is also a great small ornamental tree to plant near the house.It also only grow to about 6 feet with pink flowers.

I bought mine from Home Depot. It looks so beautiful in my new small garden next to my house. It is a great accent piece.

If you’ve got a nice spot for the little tree, I’d put him outside.

I just bought mini weeping willow which is already 12 inch and 5 years old.It looks very healthy, long branches with coming green leaves. I do not know what to do with it? Should I prune the long branches right away? Should I put this plant in the planter outside or Should I plant it in the ground already? I live in CT in Glastonbury.

I got mine from Trader Joe’s of all places, one winter. I had it inside until all danger of frost had past and then transplanted it outdoors to a sunny spot. Several nurseries sell them. Just do a search online. Good luck!

yes yes yes. All of those. My tree gets very tangled, so I prune twice a year at least. Adding compost is a great way to fertilize without chemicals.

I want to buy one of these miniatures and can’t find a place that sells them. I had one that I got at a Wegman’s store last year and it was damaged this spring. Can anyone help me out???

I have a weeping pussy willow for several years. the first year it bloomed beautifully. Now it has very few blooms. I did not know about pruning it. should I take all the dead branches off under the other ones that have leaves later in the season? Should I also cut them back so they are shorter and closer to the tree trunk? Should I fertilize it?

Possibly could be that the plant isn’t getting enough light. They like full sun, but can do alright in light shade. Most times our house, even in a sunny southern or eastern window won’t provide 6-8 hours of sun required for “full sun.” Another factor to consider is if it’s too close to a heat source. Good Luck, perhaps it would be nice to transplant it outdoors this Spring. Most only reach a height of 4 feet, which is great as a little accent in a spring bulb garden.

I recently bought a table top minature Weeping Pussy Willow and it started to grow lots of little branches but all of a sudden the leaves have started to turn brown. Can you please tell me why this is happening I really love the plant and would be sad if it dies on me? I keep the soil moist.
