A deciduous ornamental tree trained as a lollipop-shaped standard with a single tall stem and gracefully cascading branches. In early spring, before the leaves emerge, it produces soft, silvery catkins that mature to yellow and provide an early source of pollen for bees. The rounded, weeping canopy and soft green foliage create an elegant focal point for small gardens, patios, or landscape beds.
Valued for its early spring interest and graceful form, it grows best in full sun to part shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Regular pruning helps maintain the desired shape and encourages vigorous new growth. It also tolerates moist soils, making it suitable for areas near ponds or rain gardens.
