This is how easy it is to plant a willow tree! You'll see these growing by rivers all over the country and this is the best time of year to do this and you have until spring to get phantom planting! I'm intending on planting thousands everywhere I go, this is the first year I've started doing this and its hard to believe these will grow into a trees! Only willow and a few other varieties works this way as there is a rooting hormone in the bark or stem. Best cut stick in an angle and plant in dam

They’re flexible, fast-growing, and full of surprises. 🌳 Willow trees are pretty incredible plants. Joe’s here to teach us all about ’em, including how they help stabilize streambanks, support wildlife, and even hold the key to groundbreaking medicine. | San Diego Botanic Garden

I’ve already got a small bunch of colourful basketry willow growing in the mini willow copse but this year I wanted to start some growing that I’ll use for bark rather than withies.. hence why I’ve planted them further apart and planted bigger whips. Really excited to see how they go :) . . . #willowgrowing #basketry #basketmaker #weaving #willow | Foraged Fibres
