Willow Cuttings

Each order comes with 10 cuttings. Cuttings roughly 1 foot long. We will label each package indicating which way to insert into the soil.  Willow grows exceptionally well from cuttings. To us it seems like magic. A small piece of a willow branch stuck several inches into the ground will root and become its own tree. Their take rate using this method is very high unlike other species of woody plants that require rooting hormones and specific conditions to root. The growth rate of willow cuttings depends largely on soil conditions. In fertile soils with adequate water access Willow will grow very fast. They can survive in poorer soils but will grow slower, mulch is always a good idea! We find that even small cuttings will root.  Willow is an amazing tree for stabilizing banks and protecting wet areas. They have shallow roots, love wet sites, are great at filtering out pollutants, make good windbreaks and respond well to coppicing. In some cases they can grow as tall single stem trees but
