AusBonsai

This is the tree I started for my eldest daughter, Penny, when she was born. It has been neglected, to the point that I forgot which was the selected front and removed branches that I needed. Most of the trunks died over successive summers.
Now I have finally completed a styling of the tree in anticipation of new spring growth.

First styling looks good so far!

With Willows, the hardest thing is to get ramification nice and tight down the branches but you seem to be doing a good job so far!

Well done and thanks for sharing!

Thanks MoGanic! I'm paying a lot more attention to it now; I really like weeping style trees.

I would like one as have been looking for a willow for a while.

hi mark
take a thick cutting now pop it in a bucket of water and it will root , make sure to change the water every few days as willows don't like stagnant water well thats what i've found works for me when it's rooted i plant in a mixture of diatomite and coir fiber for a year making sure to tie the tree up nice and firm in the pot so it cannot move willows are the easiest thing to propagate

Looks good shane, Im keen to see it in a half crescent pot like mudlark makes. Then itll be penny's tree in a penny's pot!!! Win/win.
