I bought my pussy willow maybe dec jan and it bloomed catkins right aways the eventually all fell off now im left with naked branches no leaves or nothing what should I do? Did it die? I recently repotted it but this was after the bareness. The white is where the catkins were.
If the tree did not leaf out, it may have died.
Check the branches-do they bend or snap off? If the branches snap, they have died.
Scratch the bark, live bark should be green underneath.

Hi - I just looked at my new willow bush today and it has a lot of these small bumps on the tops of the leaves. Does anyone know what they are and how to correct for this issue? Thanks. Liz
It appears to be Leaf Galls.

After planting pussywillow trees, when would I prune them for the first time?

why is my pussy willow bush not blooming catkins? I planted it from a cutting in the summer (after blooming season), and it thrived the first year, but didn't bud much. Later that 2nd summer the leaves became covered in little brown fuzzy things -- about 1/8" diameter. I thought they killed the plant, so I clipped off the branches in the fall. The following spring (this year), new branches grew, but nothing resembling buds appeared. It has a lot of leaves now, which are jagged around the edges. I started to think maybe I was growing a very strong weed (it's about 5-6' tall now), so I did some research, and found some information about this plant sometimes having serrate margins, so I hope it's still the pussy willow. So, I guess my question is why it is not blooming. Do I need to feed it something? Thank you for your guidance.
Pruning needs to done after blooming, so pruning at other times can remove the next seasons catkins.
Here is a link to refresh on the care requirements.

Please see attached photos of weeping pussy willow leaves turned brown. What to do please?
Willows love water, but make sure the soil is well draining.
Just to rule out some potential problems, cut one of the stems off and check for discoloration within the wood. Bacterial Twig Blight leaves brown streaks in the wood. Leaf blight is another destructive disease of willows. The best treatment at this point is to cut away the infected stems and branches, cutting down to healthy wood. Remove and destroy the pruned plant material.
