It's wider across than my arms can stretch. Having read that it's difficult to create a bonsai out of willow, as far as styling and what not, I'd still like to give it a try given that the tree is there and cuttings would be free. What could it hurt? I haven't any experience with taking cuttings and I was wondering how thick of a cutting I could take. How slow do willows grow? Do they bud easily from old growth?

A branch the size of your leg will root in a bucket of water observe: http://forum.bonsaitalk.com/showthr...ight=wuggums-en http://forum.bonsaitalk.com/showthr...ighlight=willow pootsie __________________ p.s.
