Question:
Will pussy willow perform in Baton Rouge, Louisiana?

Answer:
Baton Rouge is just out of the normal growth range of pussy willow. University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond says the plant will grow, but it does not get cold enough in the winter for it to produce the blooms they are known for.
