French Pink Pussy Willow - Very hardy - Salix caprea Review

French Pink Pussy Willow - Very hardy - Salix caprea
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We bought two French Pink Pussy Willows in 5-gallon pots about 15 years ago and planted them in our back yard in Missouri.They grew amazingly fast, up to about 30 feet tall and 30 feet in diameter.Eventually one of them split near the base and had to be removed.We removed the other because we had planted it too close to our deck, house, and other trees - not knowing how large it would grow.

These "shrubs" are a favorite of all kinds of birds.They provided shade and privacy.After their spring bloom they left a mess on the lawn, but the flowers disintegrated into the soil within a couple of weeks.I would recommend these shrubs if you have the space for them.Don't expect them to last forever, but with their growth speed they can also be replaced every 15 or 20 years.I would certainly consider them a tree, rather than a bush or shrub though.

I orderd three trees at the same time from the same place, and they put the order in two shippments charging me twice. All three trees could of went in the same box. the second tree came a week later that the first two and it was dead. No hope for it at all. The first two seemed ok, I planted them and one of them as died, it is all black. I would like either a refund, or two new trees.(wheeping willow) But it looks like you ae out of stock. Denise Carey

This beautiful little tree arrived just fine, and though it seemed in shock for weeks it is now making hopeful little leaves. I had it outside while the weather was hot but now have it in a window. I haven't harvested any leaves from it yet - can hardly wait - but I wnat it to grow more first. it has new leaves so seems ok... though it has stayed smaller than i expected it would after all this time.

Japanese Sago Palm Plant - 6" Pot - Cycas revoluta Review

While this plant is beautiful, it also has a dark side.They are very poisonous for dogs and cats.I would recommend buying a dog/cat ultrasonic repeller from Amazon.Placement of the repeller will keep dogs and cats safe from being poisoned.

Other than that, these are beautiful plants!I would recommend these for those people not having pets or young children.They will do well inside homes with southern exposure windows.

Product Description:
Description This unique plant resembles a palm tree but is actually a cycad. These living fossils, members of the Cycadaceae family, dominated the landscape during the Mesozoic era over 150 million years ago. Today about 10 genera of cycads still survive. The most commonly grown is the Japanese sago, also called the sago palm (even though it isn't really a palm). This very symmetrical plant supports a crown of shiny dark green leaves on a thick shaggy trunk that can grow to 10-12 ft (25.4-30.5 m) high. The plant is very slow gowing requiring about 50 years to achieve this height. As the plant matures branching of the thick stem may occur which only adds to the interest and charm of this beauty. Japanese sago also tends to produce suckers at its base forming a large multi-stem clump over time. Location The sago palm is native to Japan's southern most islands. This is a subtropical area of high rainfall and warm temperatures. As a result, this beautiful plant is right at home in Florida and throughout the Gulf Coast. Culture Plant in sandy, fast draining soil, preferably with some organic matter. Also recommended is a light mulch of bark or leaf mold. Plants appreciate light feedings of balanced, slow release fertilizer granules or diluted liquid fertilizers. Strong fertilizers, fresh manure and the like are best avoided as they can damage the sago's coralloid roots (specialized structures that host blue-green algae that fix nitrogen from the air and make it available to the plant).

This is a very fun toy for kids but we had to have a lot of "rules" on it.After using it for only 2 months there a couple of small holes in the fabric where the kids had grabbed onto the sides.Also a huge tear in the fabric at the bottom where they hit the side when they land at the bottom of the big slide.The kids using it were between 25-45 lbs.They were not rowdy on it.I feel like it should have lasted more than 2 months for what we paid for it.
