These Specific Species Study Threads will serve for the documentation and discussion of growing young plants, upwards, together, towards a common “TinyTree” presentation goal
This “round” we are focusing on Salix Exigua.. or Sandbar Willow. I sell a handful of these every year for landscape reasons... and due to the ferocious nature of Salix in general, have a bunch to “play around with”... basically seeing how “ideal” of situations we can produce with this willow.
So the specimens for this thread started as 8” long whip cuttings... looking like these... except a bit shorter.
...One got wire ON it, and thrown @liquid_back_draft ’s way.. and the other I stuck in a larger pot and let run.
This is what I was able to accomplish, foliage-wise with just half a season of “trying”... so we’ll see where this takes us.
Any one that wants to come and pick up a Salix Alba cutting (To participate ((or HAS one, already, and lives in a similar climate))) is MORE than welcome to.
