Finding Pussy Willows

Post by isaluba » Sat Mar 20, 2010 8:19 am

Does anyone know the best place to find pussy willows? I wanted to cut some of the branches so my daughter and I can make some virvon varvon wands but I have no idea where to look. With this crazy winter are they even out yet? FYI, I am in eastern helsinki around kulosaari.

Somewhere in the south of Sweden probably. They start to come out when its +10... though, if you take willow branches & put them in water in a warm place on the window they might pop out.

They grow in wet places, usually along streams or maybe ditches where there is plenty of water and also plenty of light. You won't find them deep in the forest or in rocky areas.

Kaupatori about 5 euros per bunch.
