Does anyone have pussy willow cutting for trade or postage? These stems do not have to be long. I want to root them and start new shrubs. Mine died many years ago...

For a trade, I have a bunch of solomon's seal roots that I did not have time to plant in my garden. They are potted in soil, to keep them from rotting.

I also have clivia plants, red mandevilla,purple lochroma(this plant bloomed in my basement under lights) , red, white, and fuschia christmas cactus.

I have a pussy will shrub that I could send you cuttings of. Mine never turned into a "tree" so I assume it was meant to be a shrub type. I will take a pic and send it to you if you would like.

Please let me know, postage or trade.

Judy

I always love a good trade. LOL
How many starts do you want and how long do you want them to be? I have not ever taken cuttings of pussy willows before so need a little help here!

8-12 Inches are fine. They will root well and I can start new plants. They bend, so you can bend them to fit in a box, or even a padded
envelope.

Thanks for the trade/postage trade.

Please send me a Tree Mail with your address and how many cuttings you want.
Thanks!

Can you start them in water or in soil?

Either way works, Teresa. They're usually super easy. Ours have rooted in a cuttings vase - and I've also just shoved twigs in the ground where our downspouts drain out.
I add a tiny bit of bleach to the vase of water if I start them indoors.

Well, that is just to SMART. Never thought of there but it would stay moister than other spots.

Have you made wreaths with them? Those are pretty. I didn't want to pay 25 or 40 tho.

I haven't, but it does sound really pretty.

My luck I'd rush too much and break off the pussies.

Judy I would love to trade for solomons seal and I can send you black pussy willow cuttings.

Do you still have some of the pussy willows?
Thanks
