Do you like Golden Curly Willow?

17 years ago

I have a golden curly willow tree in a pot out back. It started sending out side shoots that I didn't want, so I removed them. After hearing how easy it is to root willow in water, I thought I'd try it. A week or so later, I have a bunch of little starts with roots!

So...my question is, would anyone be interested in getting these as a swap? Your replies (or lack of) will decide what I do next. :) Thanks!

We have a couple of these (Ours were called Chinese Corkscrew Willow) and I have brought starts to the plant swap every year since we got them. I never take any home.

Oh cool! I'll keep nursing them then. So do you have any advice for me on potting these up out of the water? I'm very much a novice propagator. :)

Eh...keep them moist but not wet, is about the best advice I can give. Most survive, but there are always a couple that just fail to thrive.
