Willow root madly easy. You can cut off a branch the size of your arm, stick it in some type of soil, and water frequently. I have some in dirt pots, some in gravel, sand, etc. All of them have rooted extremely easily.

As for the season, I'm not sure when is best to root willow. I rooted a few just a month ago, and I'm in chicago. I'm interested in seeing how well they last through the winter. If they don't last, it's so easy to root them, I'll just try again next year.

Btw, I didn't use any rooting hormones at all with them, they don't seem to need it.
