Pussy willow tree did not lose leaves over winter

My pussy willow tree is about 4 years old. Last season we had many catkins and leaves. This past winter, the leaves did not drop off. The leaves are dry and are still on the limbs. Is this normal? I guess I’ll wait to see if we get any new growth this spring. We trimmed it back last year after it bloomed.

If you winter was mild, it can leave foliage on the shrub. When new growth starts it should push off the old leaves.
