Deimos Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Must confess the other "weeping Willow" thread reminded me of this and its something I've been wanting to do since last year.How do you propagate a weeping willow. Somebody said you can do it from the thin yellow branches (the ones that "weep" and with the leaves). However, what do you do and when. I am keen to grow a few more and I really like starting from virtually nothing (i.e. using an existing tree)Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Hi IanI've never tried using the wands - they all seem to fall off in winter round our way§ But I have done it with branches. Take any small branch at the end of Feb/start of March, cut it off, poke a hole in the soil with a metal rod to the depth of about 20-25cm and shove the branch in. Pour in a bit of compost, refirm the soil round about and water it. It's as easy as that - willows in general have to be about the easiest trees to propagate. Just make sure it's kept moist at least for the first year and it will romp away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
