James Roof silk tassel is a beautiful evergreen tree/shrub that has these wonderful long, silky catkins hanging down at the end of winter. I have a very tiny one in my yard, about a foot tall. I don’t want to think about how many years I will have to wait to be able to see its beautiful display.

The brainstorm.
