Willow cuttings from an Amazon seller - Weeping, Australian, Corkscrew and Black, plus a couple of birch branches from my yard. I was going to root them in water but decided to put them in pots of my bonsai mix, submerged and see what happens.View attachment 252825View attachment 252826

The ponderosas I grew for a few years and ended up giving them all away. The spruce didn’t make it long
