Title: Twisted Willow
Post by: undercarriage plan on November 19, 2005, 17:05:11
Hey all. Took a few cuttings last autumn of my twisted willow and blow me down, they've all taken! I've given a few away, but have 3 left if anyone interested, though am already racking brains as to how to pack!!  :-\

Hi Lottie.  If I can grow it in a pot I'd love one please.  I assume it's a corkscrew willow in which case you obviously post it in a wine bottle!   ;)  ;D

Lottie, try packing your cuttings in a toilet roll tube or kitchen roll tube most effective. ;D ;D

UC Just a suggestion for packing bigger plants etc. If you have a signwriter near you ask for the cardboard rolls that the vinyl is rolled on to..Byeeee
