Hi
I was wondering if anyone would have any WILLOW cuttings or plant that could be posted.
I am looking for willow from the willow family.
It could be from the weeping willow tree, the pussy willow tree , white willow tree etc
I will pay for the cuttings if need be and i will pay for postage as well.
I will pay for the plant too.
If you have any willow near you or you own a willow,may i get some cuttings from you please.
Please contact me if you do and you could or would send them to me.
Thank you
Lu

There are willows to be found everywhere but if you can't get any yourself I can post you some weeping willow (babylonica), golden willow (vitallina) and contorta (matsudana). I can post them unrooted or rooted.
Cheers,
Rowan

Hi Lu, willow strike very easily, early this spring i took around 23 cuttings (3-4mm) , stuck them in water and they all grew roots. also i did a cutting about 170mm thick and is now growing like crazy, it's really that easy

good luck,,,Craig

Hi Lu,
was wondering how you were going with the cuttings, when I sent them to you I also decided to have a go with a twisted willow, which seems to be going very well now, roots were struck just in plain water and the tree/cutting was put into a pot with some potting mix, it seems to be very happy and shooting a new and twisted leader as I write.
Hope yours doing are just as well, especially after a trip with australia post LOL
Cheers Nora

Hi Noramay
I am so sorry but i have not been well with the past week heat and i was set on dial up for about 3 weeks and i couldn't open my email to see any messages.
I will take some photos of the cuttings, they are doing good.
I just hope i can grow them now.
The Australia Post trip was fine.
I buy all my plants online and mostly they are good.
Thank you so very much for sending them to me.
Forgive me for not writing sooner.
Even as i write i am feeling not so good.
Hugssssssssss
Lu
