- This video is an update on a Corkscrew Willow I've had for about 7 years. It's also an introduction to another larger green corkscrew willow I picked up last summer, and a bunch of random cuttings that's I'm trying different styles and shapes with. Enjoy!
"Just stop touching it". That is my mantra when I work on my trees. I don't listen to myself.
Story of my life! 🤣
Hey Mike, thanks for the shoutout! It is a weeping willow tree. And I was curious as to how they were doing. They are Looking great! Those fusion experiments are looking pretty cool! I want to try doing a bonsai where you fuse a bunch of Japanese maple seedlings together and each tree turns into the branches. Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Nice program bonsai,thank you for sharing good luck Mr
Thanks!
Cork screw willow are also known as walking stick willows because the branches tend to look lieke walking sticks as they age... nice video.....my neighbor has 2 big willow trees in his yard....I'm regularly mowing down saplings...😅😅😅
Thank you! I didn't realize they were also called walking stick willows, but now that you mention it, I bet they would make cool looking walking sticks!
Good luck Mike: I allways have tons of dieback with willows, so I gave up on them...

Thanks Kennet! I've had a few of them break my heart so far. I swore them off at one point, only to end up with a bunch more later.
love willows do you use frost covers for your trees?? I have a few willow cuttings 6weeks old and they are growing a lot every day,,the problem is we are about to go into winter,your advice would mean a lot, your channel inspired me to get into bonsai
Well thank you! I'm really glad to hear that, it means a lot. And no, I didn't use any frost cover, but I did bunch them all together and put a bunch of pine bark around them to protect the roots a bit from the cold. It mostly worked, though some of the younger cuttings died over the winter. Maybe half.
I know how you feel, my big corkscrew willow is not looking good. It hasn’t shown any buds yet and I can tell some of it has died. 😥
It's weird how they grow like crazy year after year and then out of nowhere, boom! Half of it dies for no reason.

You bet! I really like that tree, it's got a different type of personality than the other willows, (if that makes sense). I saw a video from Bjorn where he did a cool clump style Japanese maple!
