J Darcy 5,871 Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 After a little advice really. I needto grow several pots of sallow next year and was wondering when is the best time to root cuttings and has anyone got any decent methods of doing this. I was going to chop some today and place them in wet mud...but thought i would ask opinions first...cheers JD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin 332 Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Just cut em off and push them in the soil mate 90% will root. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gardener 0 Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Sally's don't need any rooting gel - they produce whatever hormone it is themselves, so they'll grow fine just stuck straight in the ground, so long as its not too waterlogged. The guy at the tree nursery where I used to work would stick some willow cuttings in a jam jar, leave them for about a week, take them out and then use that water to get other cuttings rooting.
