Salix caprea ‘Pendula‘

The Weeping Pussy Willow Salix caprea 'Pendula' is a carefully selected memorial tree, cultivated over four weeks in a specially prepared soil blend that incorporates a small portion of a loved one's or pet's ashes.

Chosen for its cascading form, its soft silver catkins, and its ability to thrive in British Columbia, it offers a lasting, living place to remember. Delivered across Vancouver and British Columbia at approximately 4–5 feet tall, ready to plant.

The Weeping Pussy Willow is a tree of remembrance, where sorrow is honoured, love remains rooted, and healing is gently allowed to grow. Among the first to stir at winter’s end, its soft silver catkins appear while the world is still quiet, offering a tender sign that life returns even after the coldest seasons. Its cascading branches form a graceful, intimate canopy - not towering, but sheltering in its own quiet way. In its presence, there is softness, reflection, and the reassurance that love continues to grow, even through grief.
