    willow is so full of natural rooting hormone it will grow anywhere. I have made cuttings from branches of up to 10 cm in diameter, if you cut a piece off and plant it will grow, if you chop it up into small pieces and make a willow tea, put it in the water of your other cuttings it will increase the rooting hormone to encourage your other plants to root. amazing trees! I use my willows around the garden for fences, trellis, supports for climbers, and basketry.

    I love trees and plants!! Just want you to beware of Willow trees so close to your house or pipelines have to be very careful to not plant it near any sewer pipes running through your yard or neighbors yard they have very invasive, shallow roots 100 feet long. The roots look for water and will grow till they find water so they can keep a constant sipping action.

The last one standing was one that I popped into a water vase of bamboo to hold it up and it rooted like crazy. (Very cool process to watch) it'd probably still be alive if I hadn't re-potted it and took it out to be with the rest of them. I'm moving this week. It's my last chance to try, even though it's winter. I need to take at least one with me.

You are right the Salix purpurea is famous for basket weaving. I have a variety called Dwarf Blue Arctic Willow that is a purpurea and it only matures to 4' tall and wide and has silvery blue foliage. Just propagated about a dozen of them from a bush.

    This is my third time on the little willows. Last ones I got in winter. These I'm trying in spring. I put them in water and outside just now but I will take them back inside of the listening to you I'll keep them here for a couple of weeks. In the past one of them I put in my aquarium and it did quite well and the fish like to rest on it but when I took it out it did not do well. You speaking with a lot of love for the trees so I'm taking them back inside in water. Also. I have a small bonsai that was spelling on me and I brought it to the grower he said they needed some air space underneath the pot and since I did that it's doing quite well. I wondered if this would be true for these little trees as well?

    Hey brother, thank you for the video. I appreciate your positive attitude and your tips.
    Please let me share a correction I have for you about watering willow cuttings. I recently had 18 Willow cuttings from CZ grain all turn black on certain parts and then slowly wither to death. I could not figure out what went wrong but after using Open AI’s Chat GPT I got this answer which explains that I could have overwatered them:
    I asked, “why did my Willow Cuttings turn black and die:
    “There could be a few reasons why your willow cuttings turned black and died:
    Overwatering: Willows require moist soil, but too much water can lead to root rot and suffocate the plant. If the soil is constantly wet, the roots may not be able to take in oxygen, leading to the plant's death.
    Lack of moisture: On the other hand, if the cuttings did not receive enough water, they may have dried out and died. Willows prefer consistently moist soil, so it's important to ensure they receive enough water.
    Disease or fungus: Willows are susceptible to a few different diseases and fungal infections that can cause them to turn black and die. Some common diseases include crown gall, black canker, and willow blight.
    Pests: Certain pests, such as borers and aphids, can damage willow cuttings and cause them to die. If you notice any signs of pests, such as holes in the stems or leaves, it's important to address the issue promptly.
    Incorrect cutting technique: If the cuttings were not taken properly, they may not have had a chance to root and establish themselves before dying. It's important to take cuttings from healthy, disease-free plants and use sharp, clean tools to make the cut.
    If you can identify the cause of the problem, you may be able to take steps to prevent it from happening in the future. It's also a good idea to consult a local gardening expert or extension office for specific advice on growing willows in your area.”
    Now, I used a mycorrhiza inoculant as well and I have to wonder if this particular product does not work with Willow Cuttings, even though the package says it is good for cuttings.
    Last possibility, the enemy of God killed them. Yes, as a Christian I believe that our creator has enemies, they are hidden from man, God called them, “the slanderer,” or, “the adversary” in The Bible and they hate righteous people like us who love the things that God made, such as trees.
    I want to grow hundreds of thousand of Willow trees, they are so glorious. Satan is against me for this, and God says He is proving believers with adversity the way gold is proven with fire, so I think it’s possible my cuttings all died because of this. Only 2 survived and they aren’t looking so good. It is interesting to me though how just those 2 survived.
    May God help us to glorify God with these trees, brother. Amen

    I looked for that link to the Etsy store where you got your basket weaving slips but couldn’t see it in the write up on this video.
    Another pot you could use for your willow slips is the self-watering ones, most have a deep reservoir for any water to collect.

    I planted a dozen or so in solo cups, they all have roots etc. Would you suggest putting holes in the bottom of the cups so the water can run out or for 2 weeks or would having standing water just be fine? I started them all in water. Just looking for your opinion on the solo cups. I have a bunch in other pots that have holes, so those I'm not worried about. I know you said you can't OVER water, but just want to make sure the solo cups with no holes
    Root on all are from half inch to 1.5 inches with good green buds and tiny leaves.

    A point about overwatering. They get blighted, but the blight will almost never kill the plant. They can literally grow in a dirty bucket. Eventually they will need nutrients. You can keep these in a bucket from fall to spring.

    I have two questions. So one of the cuttings developed roots (2-3 pinky finger sized ones) and transplanted them though its not producing the leaves is it normal? Secondly, the temperature is around 16-20 C should I keep them outside? As a final question, I have LED lights for plants, would it help it to place it next to it so that it enhances growth? Thanks

    Great upload and awesome vibe brother. I put my cuttings in water 4 days ago from a fallen tree in storm but water turned dark, tea like color. Do we need to dump and fill with fresh water or is this normal? It doesn't look unhealthy color yet it's like a weak green tea color at the moment with just a slight cloudiness to it. No roots yet though. Fingers crossed. :) Anyways, keep it up and take care of yerself!

      Thank you much! Yes, I would refresh the water to discourage any algae/bacteria growth that’s might effect your results. I personally have never had a cutting not root so you should see near 100% on this step at least

      @@ExpeditionHomestead I just refreshed the water and also cleaned the jars. While I was gently washing the cuttings under running water without touching, I spotted couple of tiny bright white protrusions coming out of couple of them. I think they're roots alright, they're so tiny I can't tell but they look so white and clean that it should how life looks like I suppose. I am so giddy right now!

    I have some willows that have been doing great that were rooted right before spring. They grew beautifully after planting into larger pots and started growing new leaves and buds everywhere. However, within the last week or 2, the tops that were initially cut started to get shriveled and dry. Is it whats called "die back"? I am still so new to this and im pretty worried. Some of the leaves on them have started to brown and die as well. I do have some willows in a completely separate set up with no cross contamination as i have made sure to be very careful with no matter if plants seem healthy or not. Anyway, those willows also started to have leaves die but have this weird issue where there are sections of the branches turning completely black and then dying. It was only at the tips and i was told to prune those off, sanitize tools and hands and use antifungal etc. But then the black started popping up in random places of the branches. Is this canker? Every single site, blog, channel ive gone to has no info for my specific issue.

      Not necessary, you can also let it grow naturally and just prune off lower branches until the trunk it up to desired height, on the contrary you can also prune each winter to build more immediate strength in trunk if you’d like.
