The 'Okame' is a type of Taiwanese ornamental cherry that grows 15-25' tall and 15-20' wide. Its upright, vase-shaped growth habit makes it a striking specimen for garden landscapes. Vibrant, pink blossoms cover every inch of the branches in early spring before rich, green foliage emerges. Foliage turns bronze-orange in the fall.
This variety of 'Black Pussy Willow' grows 6-10' tall and wide and keeps a bushy habit. It will benefit from being pruned back in late spring after blooms have disappeared. The rich, red winter stems are accented by soft, purple-black catkins that are the main ornamental feature of this plant. Branches will turn golden yellow as they age.
