"Good morning...Plant Creations!"

"Hello, I'm calling with a question about the willow bustic I planted a few months ago.  It seems to be developing little bumps along the branches.  Is there anything I should do?"

"Those are the flowers developing. Just relax and let it happen."

When those little bumps burst open, you will be treated to a sweet profusion of delectable fragrance!  Scratch and sniff the photo above to see what I'm talking about.

During the next few months, the flowers develop into juicy fruits, beloved by birds such as cardinals, mockingbirds, jays and more.
