Propagating a Weeping Willow Tree
I have taken some cuttings from a large weeping willow at the end of our road. They are now well rooted and I was just wondering if these will grow into mature weeping willow trees?

My friend simply cuts a good sized stem and puts in in the ground while the leaves are still coming out. After that time, I would normally put the stem into a container of water until roots showed up. Willow has a natural affinity to 'root', in fact, you can boil willow plant, and use the cooled water to root other plants, by dipping the stem into the water, then placing in dirt.

RE: Propagating a Weeping Willow Tree
I once visited a yard sale with several willows in the yard. While talking with the seller, they said that they just choose a good branch, cut at an angle, and just planted that stem. He said that it would readily root itself if kept watered. (10/27/2009)

RE: Propagating a Weeping Willow Tree
You can find a piece of new growth on a willow tree, cut or break it off and just put it in a pot of soil or into the ground and it will grow. This is very possibly, the easiest tree to grow. Just be mindful and don't put it too near your house. These trees will invade your septic system and cause major problems with your home. (10/31/2009)
