Re: I WILL start a P*ssy Willow Tree this Spring-

I suppose I will just let that thought go. sigh. We have such nice cottage garden plants but not that one.

The rear edge of our campsite is a cliff so it has a chain link fence back there - I planted forsythia last year - in pots - to try and hide the fence. I hope they come back this year. They were rooted from cuttings, so I just had to buy the pots and I even got the soil from the campground owner who had to buy several truckloads of topsoil so he let me have some.They should get fairly large this year.

Re: I WILL start a P*ssy Willow Tree this Spring-

My neighbor owns a florist shop and brought home curly willow - the kind they put in arrangements.

 

All willows are easy to grow - just stick some in water until it roots and then plant it after danger of frost is past. Waiting until then will insure the roots can start growing in the soil ASAP.

 

We planted 5 stalks of curly willow in a large pot. The "tree" is now over 7 feet tall - in 2 years time!

 

Good luck with your willow and enjoy!
