yeah, (put a tiny bit of fertilizer in the water.to help it along but its not necessary) Or buy a little Rootone powder and put some on the cut and stick in in the dirt.

Yes it’s true and they grow into full size cats almost over night

Give it some catnip to excite and stimulate his growth.

It gets easier the harder you dig, year after year.

You don’t need to add any fertilizers or rooting hormone, they produce lots of it themselves.
There are a few options for growing them. If you have a wet area of your lawn you can dig a hole and bury a couple of inches of the willow cuttings, so they are upright, keep it well watered and you’ll have them growing as trees in no time.
You can also lay them on their sides, watering well, pinned to the ground or buried under an inch of soil. They will send up shoots and then you’ll have a line of trees.
In water you can root them, but water roots aren’t the same as soil roots, so those tend to be weaker, and the tree needs to send out new ones when planted. It’s normally easier on the willow to be planted direct and just heavily watered until established.
If you are planting in an already wet spot then you don’t need to worry about watering as much. It’s super easy to grow willow, no matter what type of willow it is. The only good thing about rooting in water or in a pot is that you have longer to decide on where you want to plant them.
Good luck, it shouldn’t be hard to do at all.

Gee, I wish I knew what the ***s are about!
Yes, in general, it’s quite easy to get willow cuttings to root. In water, in potting soil, or straight into the ground. A little bit of “rooting compound” or all-purpose plant food will help things along.
In my experience, it’s easier to start a new willow than it is to get rid of one you don’t want!

In our area … they take to the soil easy.
I could take a straight cutting and stick it in moist soil and it’ll continue without skipping a beat.
I have also started them in the house in a vase. if you cut the fuzzy buds and put them in water they will pop and the leaves will pop out. Its still too cold up here to put them in the soil in March.

Well. If you have watered it plenty then it probably just needs a little Barry White…
