You can prune it once Freezing is over. It will put out beautifully for the Spring.

I would trim it after it leafs out ....but if it gets too unruly later on in the summer, trim it up again.....trust me, you just can’t kill pussywillow!
The best time when to prune a pussy willow tree is when the catkins are on the tree. This will ensure that you trim the plant before it has started active growth, but you will also not inadvertently eliminate the young branches that the catkins grow on.
