Need weeping willow cuttings

16 years ago

I would love to establish some weeping willows here. Is there anyone who could provide some cuttings of about a foot long and the thickness of pencils. They are easy to root and fast growing, but I need to get them rooting before Spring really hits and the heat of summer is upon us. mensplace@bellsouth.net

I like the weeping look, but they're such a nuisance with any water lines in the yard.....

You didn't hear it from me, but what if you go to Piedmont park or somewhere like that with a pair of pruning shears and a big tote bag? There are people doing way creepier things in the bushes there... you'll be a model citizen by comparison.

Esthermgr, you are so funny!!!

Joe's Coffee in East Atlanta also has weeping willow - I bet they would let you take some cuttings if you were coming into Atlanta. They are so nice there.

After waiting from a response here, I finally found one weeping willow tree for a good price and with a good shape. This will provide PLENTY of cuttings.
