Is it like a weeping willow? And these are some sort of flower?
A pussy willow is a type of bush. I believe the furry white things are the buds coming out....certainly a sign of spring in here in North America. The buds don't stay on the bush all year but turn into leaves I think.
We also have similar ones called wolf willows also ..they give off an amazing scent in the late spring early summer and produce little white berry-type things...
Then there's weeping willows which are a type of tree that you sound a bit more familiar with....we have those here also.

I hope that clarifies things for you MA....

Thanks for your comments everyone also
