I have been told that you can start a new weeping willow tree from my existing tree by cutting off a small branch and putting it in water. Is this true and if so I remember using some powder stuff in the water that was supposed to make plants grow roots.... works on spider plants very well. Can I try this with my willow or is it a waste of time?
Take one year shoots from the tree in the summer and just stick them in the ground.
Willows contain their own rooting hormone.
I have never had to use a rooting compound with them as most shoots seem to root very quickly.
Is it too late to do it this year? maybe I'll start a few inside and do a trial run. Thank you so much! I want more weeping willows as they are beautiful trees but I'm too cheap to order new trees.... a HUGE help
