Certified ExpertA.If you are not opposed to chemicals, Round-up will kill them. Just be sure that the Round-up does not accidentally get on anything that you want to keep.
If you are not keen on chemicals, pouring boiling water on each plant, especially at the roots, will also help kill them.

southern alabamaQ.why are the fuzzy balls dropping off my pussy willow?
Why are the fuzzy balls dropping off my pussy willow? Just purchased this small weeping pussy willow tree. Instructions said to keep indoors first year & keep moist. All the 'fuzzy balls' have started dropping off. What's wrong?

Certified ExpertA.I also did a little research and saw where the tags of ornamental pussy willows said to "Keep the plant indoors for the first winter, and make sure it's well watered. Silvery white catkins will appear followed by yellow stamens later in the season." (http://www.bananas.org/f8/tree-enchantment-13239.html).
Did the catkins (the fuzzy balls) ever transform into yellow-stamened bottle-brush like flowers?

April 1, 2015A.I have tried to find information about 'indoor Pussy Willow tree', but have been unable to find any variety that would be an indoor tree.
It's possible to have a Bonsai tree of a willow, but they also are not recommended for extended indoor stays.If the catkins are dropping off, I would think the tree is under stress. Most likely not enough sunlight and or temperatures to warm in the house.
My recommendation would be to check back with the store where your plant was purchased and verify it's growing conditions.
Here is a link that has more information about Pussy Willows.

new jerseyQ.pussy willow tree
I planted a pussy willow cutting from a flower arrangement 2 years ago. It has grown from a "twig" about 15" to a tree about 13-15 feet tall. Each year we got some pussy willows and this year pussy willows, but on the top branches. How do I get them on all of the branches? It is in full sun with a lot of room to expand.

MarylandQ.How do I know if my weeping pussy willow is dwarf
I bought a weeping pussy willow from a grocery store. I want to plant outside but not sure what the size will be? Is there anyway to tell? The tree came with no instructions.

Certified ExpertA.How tall is your tree right now? Weeping pussy willows are sold grafted and will never get significantly taller than the height you bought it at. The point at which they attach the graft is as tall as it (the rootstock) will get and the weeping portion will not grow
upward, but will continue to cascade down.For more information on the care of pussy willow trees, please visit the following link:

Certified ExpertA.From what I understand they can be grown from seed but it is very difficult. It is very easy, however, to propagate by rooting cuttings.
