  • Here, we used live stakes of a bunch of native shrubs and trees to restore this streambank in Philadelphia. We used Salix discolor, Salix nigra, Cornus amomum, and Cornus racemosa. All you have to do is create a hole in the ground, and stick the live stake into the ground at around 2/3 of its length. The stake will send out roots and branches, and will begin growing quickly. Protect from deer and other herbivores!

    I'm a forestry major over here in the Pacific Northwest. I love watching your videos to see how you guys do things over on the east coast. I love learning about urban forestry. It's funny how we have a lot of the same invasives. Keep up the great work!

    When my mother was pregnant with my sister, she had to be admitted to the hospital rather frequently. When coming to visit i would always pick up a stick on my way and since hospitals don't allow in with stuff like that, grandma would convince me to stick it in the soil and pick it up on the way back. By then i would forget about it and bring the next stick the next day. Now there's shrubs and smallish trees.

    Don't forget those Japanese Ninja beetles ! They''ll sneak up and eat your plants when your not looking.

    As a former Americorps volunteer that worked in Environmental Ed and as a Project Coordinator with my service site, I’ve done a lot of work in Abandoned Mine Drainage and stream restoration projects. I would’ve loved to still be working in that field, but the non profit I worked for was too political and expected employees to attend protests. I was more of a field kinda guy.

    Here in the Midwest we don't have a whole lot of options for cuttings when it comes to Willow or other aquatic species.it's sad to say but most of my trials even some of the hybrid willows the basket willows and the colorful willows just don't get a good chance here unless they're directly on the stream.

    How do you protect them from deer?

    • @raerohan4241

      Tree fences. Put four stakes down around the sapling and wrap chicken wire around it. Ready made plastic ones also exist, but not great for the environment

    So your telling me I can cut a piece of any tree, stab it into the ground & it will grow just like that? Or am I reading this wrong lol

    • @matthewfinger2381

      No it depends on the tree. Willows and dogwoods have adventitious roots which means their roots can grow from normal nodes instead of branches.
