The 'Black Pearl' is admired for its intensely dark-purple, heart-shaped foliage. Beautiful lavender blossoms cover the entire tree in early spring, and foliage appears soon after blooms have fallen. This variety will get 15-20' tall and 20-25' wide at full maturity. They are shade tolerant, but the foliage color will be much more vivid when planted in full sun.
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.
The 'Black Cat' pussy willow is a large variety that grows 10-15' tall and wide. In early spring, silvery-pink catkins appear and quickly turn jet black. Catkins are eye-catching and soft to the touch. This variety thrives in wet environments and is great for areas that are retaining moisture in your landscape. * Invasive, water-seeking roots - should be planted away from septic systems.
