HOW DO I PLANT WILLOW CUTTINGS? Willow Planting Instructions: Soak in bucket a full of water for 48 hours. This will soften the wood making the cutting more likely to grow roots. Next you can plant your cuttings push them half way into the ground. Best of luck and hopefully mos
t of them will grow leaves in mid spring. Keep them damp in dry weather for the first year, after that they should be fine. Insure the buds are pointing up meaning you have the cutting planted the right way up. CAN YOU SUPPLY DIFFERENT LENGTH OR QUANTITY OF WILLOW CUTTINGS? Yes we can supply any quantity or size of willow cuttings. Willow tree cuttings 1/2 are long leave willow & 1/2 round leave willow (shown in the picture)
SPECIAL FEATURES
Fast growing, provide cover for wildlife, shelter-belt, windbreak, grow wood or create a living garden screen. A number of willow species were widely planted in Australia, notably as erosion control measures along watercourses. Almost all willows take root very readily from cuttings. Willows are often planted on the borders of streams so that their interlacing roots may protect the bank against the action of the water. Frequently the roots are much larger than the stem which grows from them. Willows produce a modest amount of nectar that bees can make honey from, and are especially valued as a source of early pollen for bees. ENERGY
Willow is grown for biomass or biofuel, in energy forestry systems, as a consequence of its high energy in-energy out ratio, large carbon mitigation potential and fast growth. Large scale projects to support willows development as an energy crop have been established, such as the Willow Biomass Project in the US and the Energy Coppice Project in the UK. Willow may also be grown to produce Charcoal. ENVIRONMENT
As a plant, willow is used for biofiltration, constructed wetlands, ecological wastewater treatment systems, hedges, land reclamation, landscaping, phytoremediation, streambank stabilisation (bioengineering), slope stabilisation, soil erosion control, shelterbelt & windbreak, soil building, soil reclamation, tree bog compost toilet, wildlife habitat.
